I have a simple doubt.

Next Sunday, you and I are going to watch a movie.
Next Sunday, you and I am going to watch a movie.
Next Sunday, you and me are going to watch a movie.


Another statement is
Danny bought new pencils for I and my brother.
Danny bought new pencils for me and my brother.

Please help what is wrong with wrong statements. And if anyone share link related to this topic, I would appreciate his/her help.

Next Sunday, you and I are going to watch a movie.
Next Sunday, you and I am going to watch a movie.
Next Sunday, you and me are going to watch a movie.
The first sentence is correct. This is a case where two subjects (you and I) are connected by and. In such cases, the subject is treated as plural.

Second sentence is correct. The rule is that whenever a pronoun appears as part of prepositional phrase (for me in this case), the pronoun always takes the object form (me in this case).

Thanks for explanation. It is good learning from you.

And if in first case the sentence were like " either you or I are/am going to watch movie", am would be correct in given sentence. Am I correct?
Because in paired idiom case, verb remains as per nearest noun/pronoun.
Another example
Not only I but also he is going to Movie.
