How do I share my Apple purchase movies so we can watch with Vision Pro together? Don’t want to mess up one another’s data with Family Sharing where one person controls everyone’s stuff. We have data and apps we don’t want to commingle.

The Family Share Plan appears to require data, apps, subscriptions be consolidated into this share account. We want to keep our regular Apple account items (iCloud storage, apps, subscriptions) separate. We don’t want to commingle stuff that we’ve spent decades acquiring, some of it for business and some sensitive. We simply want to be able to watch movies together that I have purchased over the years using our new Vision Pros. The Family Share Plan sounds like a disaster waiting to happen if we go this route.
That’s not at all what happens. This is purchase sharing, not iCloud/account sharing. It will only share things like subscriptions and downloads (books, movies, paid apps). It doesn’t transfer apps or your iCloud data. I suggest you look through the article that are sent to you fully before you reply.
So, to share my prior and future movie purchases my spouse will have to come to me to make purchases under this plan whenever he wants to buy some Apple digital stuff on his own, right? Or, can it be limited only to movie purchases?
You can share Apple TV movies by enabling purchase sharing in your family settings.

No, once you are sharing purchases, all new and existing movies will appear in your Apple TV library.
