So I’m very confused. I have Plex and i am subscribed to them for 4.99 per month. Now I am very confused on how to watch movies. Can someone please explain on how I watch movies.
You need to supply your own media. Plex is just a media server to serve up your media to watch on your various Plex clients (well, there are channels). You may want to read the support pages:
https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/categories/200007268-Getting-Started
And you do not need to pay for Plex, the basics are free. If you use it and enjoy it the Plex Pass gives you some more features and helps fund development.
So where could I get movies form? I seen other people have tons of movies on Plex. Why use Plex to watch movies if you can just watch on Windows Media Player?
Plex is not a streaming service like Netflix. With Plex, you add your own movies, music, tv shows, etc to your own Plex library for playback on one of the many Plex clients. This Support Article may be a good starting point to learn what Plex does and does not do.
So where can I get movies from?
Plex is great for taking your own DVDs and Blu-Ray disks and ripping them into computer files. You can also do the same with your Music CDs. And, putting your pictures onto your plex server.
Plex allows you then to watch your media basically at anytime on any of your devices (Phone, tablet, smart TV, ChromeCast, Roku, FireStick, computer, etc.).
Also, my mom loves to be able to see my family pictures on her TV in her home from my server in my house and we live 4 hours apart. 
As others have mentioned, Plex does not supply any media, nope, nada, zilch.

From media you purchase. This isn’t some illegal kodi addon ■■■■.

You could start with these places.
So there is no point in Plex. Aight got it

No point! =)) That gave me a real good laugh.
The point of Plex is that it gives me a way to easily organize my movies, TV shows and other media and present them with metadata and artwork and allow me to view them on any of at least 8 different devices I own.
It is much more than playing it is a whole media system.
It is not perfect but saying that you can do the same with Windows Media Center as you can with Plex is like saying that you can do the same thing with a pair of roller skates that you can with a Rolls-Royce.
But thank you for the laugh, even though it did freak out my dog.

Only if you thought the point of Plex was to somehow, for the price of a plexpass subscription, magically give you access to some Movie service

No, there’s “no point” to trying to troll the support forums when you don’t even understand what the product is. There’s plenty on the Plex website that outlines what Plex is (and isn’t). Plenty of us grasp that and find it the perfect solution for the need it addresses.
A hammer sucks at screwing in screws, too… but there’s hardly “no point in” a hammer.

Actually I have used a hammer to seat screws in some substances. Sometimes a tool can be multi-pointed and even have a point that has not been planed for.
Also, you are correct that hammers have a point (see ice hammers),
but not all hammers have points (see ball-pin hammers).
But there is always “The pointless forest”
in the “land of Point.”
hahahahahahah…finaly
Those asking where to get movies might do well to try the plex channels, though I think Netflix might be a better choice. My sense is they do not wish, or know how to “rip” their own media to a computer.
This IS a rather funny post. Plex will eat practically ANY old garbage you feed it, MKV’s, mp4’s, FLAC, mp3, divx, xvid, x.265, etc, etc, nom, nom, and then organizes it and makes it pretty. And then… “Oh, you want to direct-play one movie to a wired Windows client, stream another with a completely different file format over WiFi to a smart phone, a third to a tablet, yet ANOTHER to a wired smart TV, and still ANOTHER to a Chromecast at someone else’s house, all at the same time? Okay, I can do that, but I’ll make your CPU hurt.” It does all this with a remarkably light set of fixed and immutable rules. Do things go pear-shaped sometimes? Absolutely. Do we all want it to do even MORE stuff? Ayup. But when you consider how many use cases this product supports… amazing.
