Let's say we're going to the movies and we're standing in line and we need to figure out which movie we are going to see. So as a semi-rhetorical question I ask "What should we see?"
Literally it would be "Que debemos ver?"
but I have a feeling there is a more common, accepted (and shorter) way to say the same thing?

"¿Qué vemos?" :)
The question "¿qué debemos ver?" might actually be understood as a duty; in this case, "¿qué podemos ver?" is better.
Another way to ask while implying "we're considering what to see" could be "¿qué veremos?"

I would have used ¿cuál vemos? Would that sound wrong, or is it just another way of saying it. As an Anglo, I don't like to use qué too much knowing that non-natives tend to overuse/misuse it.

"¿Cuál vemos?" is correct, and probably more appropriate even, as we're picking one movie among many.
We tend to make "qué" and "cuál" synonyms sometimes. ;(
