Have you added that new yml file to the config?

Problem in that yaml file:

Recommended Text Editors

We highly recommend to use a decent editor software to manage PMM´s .yml files.

Standard text editors (such as Notepad and TextEdit) often save text in a rich-text format which can result in text formatted in a way that PMM cannot read. But not only that, they also make it very hard to visually distinguish the formatting, such as indentation.
PMM requires indents to always be multiples of 2 spaces, and not TAB stops. If you have one space too much, or too few, it is very hard to notice that with a editor like Notepad.
An editor that is more focused on editing code instead of text will automatically detect the .YML fileformat and adjust things to make it easier to work. They can also try to detect possible errors even before you actually run the .yml in PMM.

This can save a lot of time and headaches.

in "/config/Movies.yml", line 2, column 3
| expected <block end>, but found '<block mapping start>'
| in "/config/Movies.yml", line 12, column 4
and yes, your Movies.yml is broken, so you need to fix that, use a better editor and that will help you to easily spot YML formatting errors like that

@merry delta is this ready to be closed?

I case our remarks weren’t clear; PMM can see that file, but it can’t load the file because it’s incorrectly structured.
