How to Find a Movie by Plot or Story Line

Movies are often tough to forget while simultaneously difficult to remember. A moment in a movie can remain in your mind for years because of an emotional connection to it, but the details of a film such as its title and storyline will often escape memory. The Internet has made the process of finding movie titles by plot or storyline much simpler than it used to be. When the Internet fails, there are also other resources available that can assist you in your search.
