0 Heh, those darn sentences are always a problem for learners... I'd say the most common and natural ones would be:02br
02br
01i00 I don't remember when I last went to the movies.02br
00I don't remember when it was that I last went to the movies.02i
02br
02br
00The other ones are... problematic, in my opinion. I'd say #1 is better

0 I'd just say,02br
01i00I don't remember the last time I went to the movies.02i02br
00The 01i00when was02i00 just confuses the issue. 02br
00But if the question is really about word order in an indirect question, then here's a shorter example.02br
00Wrong: 01i00I don't remember when was it.02i

01cite10Kooyeen12cite101) I don't remember when was the last time I went to the movies.12br
102) I don't remember when the last time was I went to the movies.12br
12br
12br
10So, I can see it's OK to say either: ....when 11b10was12b10 the last time.....OR ......when the last time 1
