There is such an exercise:
---Have you seen ____ new movie, the Wandering Earth?
--- Yes, I have.
Should a or the be in the blank?
The answer is a, but I feel the is also ok.I can't tell the reason. What do you think about it? Please help me. Thnanks!
 
What? How can it be "a"? The sentence implies that both speakers know that the "new movie" refers to "The Wandering Earth", so you can't use "a" as we're talking about a definite item.

As the reference is to a specific movie, which article do you think is correct? [Hint: only one is correct]

Right.
 

Then is it right to say "Have you seen a movie named The Wandering Earth?" Or"Have you seen the movie named The Wandering Earth?"
What about this one: Do you konw a man named Lee?

Is it right to say "Have you seen a movie named The Wondering Earth?" or "Have you seen the moviie named The Wandering Earth?"
What about this: Do you know a man named Lee?

All three sentences are correct. I've underlined a misspelled word.

Yes, really. All three sentences are grammatically correct and are possible in the right context.

Those are possible, but the context in post #1 above is more specific (new movie).
