邀请我观看您最喜欢的中国/中文电影
Invite me to watch your favourite Chinese movie
Here, the "C" in the word "Chinese" should be on upper case.
If you hope to see the movie in Chinese language, "Chinese movie"="中文电影"; if you hope to see the movie produced by Chinese companies or in China, "Chinese movie"="中国电影".

I agree that "中国电影" is enough.

| Thank you for your promptitude ! I mean both : made in China and in Chinese. But my friend already know that I enjoy listening to Chinese. So maybe "中国电影" is enough. |

我想邀请你看你最喜欢的中国电影

back translation: I would like to invite you to watch your favourate Chinese movie with me.
In Chinese, you invite someone, not asking someone to invite you.
Asking some one to invite you could happen only in these 2 cases:
1) you are extremly close to that someone or have known him for many many years;
2) you are kidding with him. He knows you are not serious, although he might still invite you.
Another thing is that, a Chinese guy tend not to watch a movie twice, no matter how much he likes it. So the original sentence need to be rephrased as "I want to ask you to watch a good Chinese movie". The translation should be: 我想邀请你看一步好看的中国电影。

There is a typo in the last Chinese sentence. It should read this way:我想邀请你看一部好看的中国电影。

Note from asker:
| Hi ! Many thanks for the cultural info' ! Well, I guess we don't ask someone to invite you in any language... But that is what I really mean. But your explanation gives me more insight into the Chinese language that I don't master at all. |

中国电影，好看
If you have a Chinese friend in your country, wherever you are, you might as well say in such a gentle manner:
有什么好看的中国电影，我们去看看吧！：）
Hopefully, this answer can be of any help.
Good luck to you!

It means more about suggestion than "Let's go together!" :)

Note from asker:
| Hi ! Thank you for your proposition. Though I don't speak any Chinese, I got the feeling it necessarily suggests (implicitly) to go to the cinema... Doesn't the last part of your sentence mean "Let's go together!" ? Anyway, thank you again ! |
