These both give a sense of past tense. The first one tells the exact time (last night) The second one just confirms that you have watched the movie at some (undefined/unimportant) time. In the second case, we usually use 'have seen' instead of watched.

"I have watched this movie," means you've watched it at some time in the past - perhaps 10 years ago.
Past perfect may be used to indicate that some action took place prior to some other action referred to in the simple past tense. "I had just returned from taking t
