How are these 3 Spanish sentences?
 
Hey I'm not too sure if its still right correct me on my Spanish sentence

¿cual es tu pelicula favorita?

¿puedo llarvette a cenar?

¿de donde eres?

For the second sentence, are you trying to say, "Can I take you (out) to dinner?" I too would like to know how to phrase this. I generally say, "Want to go to dinner with me tonight?" "Quieres ir a cenar conmigo esta noche" or some other form of that.

Yes I'm trying to say "can I take you out for dinner" ... ¿puedo llevarte a cenar?

¿De dónde eres?

I hope you don't mind the corrections.

With the corrections provided, all of your sentences are correct. The second one may be asked a couple of different ways, but what you wrote works.

It's not common to start a Spanish invitation with 'puedo'. Instead, ask the person if they would like to dine with you.

¿Quisiera/s cenar conmigo?
¿Le/Te gustaría cenar conmigo?

You could be a little more straight forward with:
¿Quiere/s cenar conmigo?
¿Te llevo a cenar esta noche?

Hi Rusty, why do we use Quisiera/s here? Subjunctive Imperfect was the last thing I learned so I have very little experience with it being used. I just learned that it's about past tense with an unknown result or a past event that now isn't possible. Im not sure if that is completey correct what I said but that's the general idea I have.

When used to ask a question, it is simply a polite form (which makes it idiomatic).
