Answer

"it was you" can be basically translated by "c'était toi/vous"
toi (for a friend)
vous (for being polite, or if it is 2 person or more)

So for "it was you who paid for the movie?"
You can say it like that :
"C'est vous qui avez payé pour le film ?"

Other example : 
- 3 friends together, 
Friend 1  "Qui à payé pour le film", 
Friend 2  "c'est moi qui ai payé"
Friend 1  " ah okay, mais qui a payé la dernière fois ?"
Friend 3  "c'était moi"
