Thank you both, it seems it accepted:

<?php echo "<h1>" . $movie["title"] . " (1985)" . "</h1>"; ?>

Don't think it was about the double quotes but in separating the (1985) and the h1 tag.

Here's the 3rd task: By the end of this code challenge, we'll remove all the information about the original movie ("Back to the Future") from the page and replace it with information about the new movie ("The Empire Strikes Back"). Right now, the <h1> element has the title of the original movie as a static piece of text. Replace that with a PHP command that instead displays the title of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the <h1> tags and the year intact.)

I believe it is a simple fix of adding double quotes to the key name, i.e. 

echo "<h1>" . $movie["title"] . "etc….";

It is not wrong, but, the challenge requires a specific way to do this : "Replace that with a PHP command that instead displays the title of the new movie from the array. (Be sure to leave the <h1> tags and the year intact.)". Look between parentheses.

Try something like: <h1><?php echo "request"; ?></h1>

The real answer is here guys! Welcome

<?php echo $movie["title"] = "The Empire Strikes Back"; ?>

Make sure you add the php tags!
