Default Watching movies in class, for or against?

I'm teaching this one class during 8 weeks, twice a week.

I'm considering watching a movie next class.

I have qualms about watching movies because I feel like I'm being paid for nothing.

On the other hand I've been teaching some really ''dry'' stuff lately so I think it would be a nice relaxing break for the students.

I don't think 2 hours out of 32 is really taking advantage of the whole movie thing. On the other hand I do want to be professional.

What is your position about movies?

I know some of you might recommend that I ask questions about the movie afterwards but in this situation, I just feel like the students are tired and I think it wouldn't be a bad idea just to give them a break just this once.
