Hello,
I had a question on this translation: I don't remember this film.
Why does it translate to: Je ne me souviens pas de ce film. I don't understand the placement of the 'de'?
Thank you!

Bonjour Birdies,

Have a look at the above link. You will find the verb souvenir takes the preposition de after it.
This takes the sense of memory/recollection/reminder (or not) of something or other.
Hope this helps.
Bonne continuation.

Se souvenir de quelque chose -- to remember something
As you can see, the preposition de follows the verb souvenir and precedes the thing that is remembered.
