had you watched movie vs have you watched movie

The correct phrase is "Have you watched the movie?". The use of "have" in the present perfect tense is appropriate when asking about an action that has relevance to the present moment. "Had you watched the movie?" would be used in a past perfect context, which is not suitable for this question.
