It's a pretty unmemorable title unless you remember one more specific plot detail.

The 2015 film "Life" follows the intertwined stories of two men: raw young actor James Dean (played by Dane DeHaan, "The Place Beyond the Pines," 2012) and professional photographer Dennis Stock (portrayed by Robert Pattinson, "Cosmopolis," 2012), who wants to photograph Dean for a profile in Life magazine.

Q: Does the movie "Last Christmas" have anything to do with the song?

The 2019 holiday comedy "Last Christmas" has plenty to do with the song.

The plot of the film is based, somewhat loosely, on the poppy '80s Christmas tune by Wham!, and the film also features a number of other songs by the band's frontman, George Michael.

Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks," 2013), who came up with the script and also stars in the movie, said she even received Michael's blessing to write the film, even though she didn't think she was the best choice.
