There are actually whole movies in Esperanto. "La Eta Knabino",
which has mostly Swiss cast and an Iraqi director, is one, and there
are at least 12 that contain some Esperanto.  More to be found:

There are not surprisingly even more in Klingon:

Found this a couple weeks ago looking for Georgian movies (more than
594 of them, shockingly for a nation of 5 million souls).  I find it
rather sad that there are only 5 movies containing any Navaho,
which makes the Onion article of some years back depressingly accurate.
