Your sentence means "I like movies (but I don't like 'another thing')" You're automatically making a comparison by using は.
 
I like movies

But I'd like to be able to say something like 'I like to watch movies' or 'I like to do x' etc. I think the sentences below would get the idea across, but I'd like to check!

えいがをみにすきです > えいがをみるのがすきです
I like to watch movies.

さっかをするにすきです サッカーをするのがすきです
I like to play soccer.
To say "I like ~~ing." or "I like to (verb)", you need to add the verb nominalizer の directly after the verb. Once that's done, you can treat it like a noun.
