> yes, but my media views and books are also todo

My bad. But you still have multiple options. Personally, I do
something similar to you. I have a music file to track the albums that
I listen to. For this file I have the following in-buffer setting:

#+SEQ_TODO: LISTEN | LISTENED

I didn't think the usual TODO | DONE sequence fit for music. You could
do something similar for books/movies:

#+SEQ_TODO: WATCH | WATCHED

and

#+SEQ_TODO: READ | DONE

Then, you could filter for TODOs only by clicking "T" in the
org-agenda dispatcher menu and typing TODO.

But that's just for listing todos. If you choose to set a separate
todo keyword sequence for your movies/book files, when you open the
full agenda view, which is what you see if you type "a", you can
filter for todos only by typing "/" and then typing "/TODO/" when you
are asked for a filter.

You could also set a category for your movies/book files by putting
something like

#+CATEGORY: media

at the top of those files. Then, when you open the org-agenda
dispatcher menu, type "a" and then press "/", you can type in "-media"
when you are asked for a filter. That query will filter all entries
from your movies/book files. That's actually probably the simplest
option.
