Is watching old Egyptian movies that show actresses who have repented and donned the hijab forbidden, and is that considered a forbidden gaze for a man, knowing that they are now veiled, and is watching Arab movies in general forbidden due to the women appearing in them provocatively and in short clothing?

It is not permissible to watch films and TV series that contain forbidden elements, and this is the prevalent characteristic of such content. The criterion for prohibition is the scene viewed, regardless of the subsequent state of the actor, whether righteous or deviant.
