Computer crashed and installed new drive, now my 2013 27" desktop with OS Mojave is not compatible with newer iMovie programs.

Forget about that Amazon iLife '05 disc as it is 8 years out of date from the iMovie 9.0.9 that you can get as a direct download from Apple.
If you launch the Mac App Store with the same Apple ID as you were using before your drive replacement, and click cmd+0 (zero) to expose the Purchased panel, it may show iMovie among your purchased applications. If a blue outlined cloud with a down arrow appears adjacent to iMovie, and you click that, it may offer to download the last compatible version (10.1.14) for Mojave. If not, you are stuck with iMovie 9.0.9 (32-bit application).
[Update… I see you resolved this via the Mac App Store]

Okay I wasn't sure when "Purchased" changed. Click your name on the bottom left.
Also, I was going to purchase a disc on eBay..do you know what version would be compatible?
iLife '05 is 17 years old. It's not going to work.
HOLY S***! That worked!! I cant thank you enough! Why couldn't the TEN Apple support people tell me that?!?!?!?!
I dreaded buying a new computer after putting money into a new drive and data salvage...just for 1 program!!
GREAT !!
THANK YOU!!!
High Sierra 10.13.6 as per below image
If you downloaded iMovie previously, open the App Store, checked "Purchased", locate iMovie and download it from there. If you hadn't downloaded iMovie before, you can't get an older version.
FWIW…

This…
It had already been installed when I purchased my computer..didnt download it myself. That make a difference?
Good question and I'm not sure. Just check the Purchased tab, if it's listed, you can download it.
On the first Purchased screen, click the download icon, not on the iMovie icon.
Yes! Thank you! dialabrain answered my question, and thank YOU for your help as well!
You're welcome.
