either an anxiety or a panic attack just try to calm down it will pass the key is distraction and relaxation. Was it a boring film as when im suffering from anxiety it has to be a good film to keep me distracted

Hello Alba, Sunnydyd is right, you experienced anxiety or a panic attack. It probably wasn't anything to do with watching the movies, it happened because you are experiencing problems with anxiety.

The light-headedness, dizziness, headache and feelings of weakness are caused by hyperventilation (changes to your breathing) caused by your anxiety. None of these are harmful in any way. They are a natural response to anxiety. They should start to wear off as your anxiety fades.
