Actually, stop thinking that 了 is past tense. In most cases such as this it marks an action completed, even if that action is completed in the future.

I think it just seems more natural to Chinese speakers to add the verb, but I'd like to hear from a native speaker.

There are two implied verbs in English that you need to include in Chinese. Instead, try thinking of "after watching the movie, let's go to drink beer"

I think it's okay, particularly in China (I think it would be unusual in Taiwan), but I defer to native speakers.
