I was just wondering about all the Europeans (excluding UK)… like do y’all understand… say, an American movie or TV as well as those in your national language?

Pretty much equivalent, since I was in an English speaking country early enough.
Yes, I watch and read in original language. However you also need some cultural knowledge to get everything. While that seems obvious, the devil is in the details indeed.
I always have a lot of fun with words that split up into multiple in the other language. Recently I stumbled over kind(ness) which you’d split up in German: to act kind (freundlich) and to be kind (gütig) would be different words.
