First off you will want to open your file with >> not >. >> appends to the file, > writes over the file:
open (FILE, ">>$filename") or die "trying";
Secondly, if you want to actually write to that file handle, you need to specify the file handle when you print:
print FILE "$movie\n";
Also, you might want to wrap the whole grabbing of user input around a while loop - otherwise your @movies array is totally unecessary.

Lastly, but very important - don't quote bare variables:

push @movies, "$line"; # bad habit to get into push @movies, $line; # much better, what if $line was a reference?
