I'm still interested! I have looked in every grammar book
that I have and I am still confused!
Why can't you say " I saw that movie" or " I have seen that movie. Why can't both be correct?
Do you always have to use a specific time with the simple past?
Examples:
How did you get there?
I took a cab.
Did you see your brother?
Yes, I saw him.

Do you always have to use a specific time with the simple past?-- No, not at all; the point is that a specific past time makes present perfect impossible.

I think there is a bit difference between the two sentences
"I have seen" mean either you saw the person or things for more than one time or mean you saw a person or thing for along time from past to present. thus, "I saw" mean for one time and in specific time.
for example,
I was see that movie on Sunday. (specific time).
I have seen that movie (two, three or many time ..
