    I have this scenario:

    site.com/dir/watch.php?category=main&movie=moviename

    i want to make it site.com/dir/watch/main/moviename

    I place .htaccess into dir 
    
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^watch/(.+)/(.+)\.html$ watch.php?category=$1&movie=$2
    Code (markup):
    and few variations... but it do not work.... It open watch.php but seams that category and movie name can not "get"

    So it show watch.php without parametars.

    I don't know if (.+) is a valid expression, maybe it was just a fluke it didn't work for me once.

    try replacing it with (.*)

    if it still doesn't work, try adding [QSA,L] to the end of the htaccess entry.

    Actually, you'll want to change that to: 

    RewriteRule ^watch/(.*)/(.*)/?$ watch.php?category=$1&movie=$2
    Code (markup):
    As the / can sometimes be forgotten.
