I need to move (in a text file) the last word on a line to the beginning of that line.
From This:
I Am Legend (2007) RoboCop (1987) Shrek (2001)
To This:

Answer
With GNU sed:
sed 's/(.*)((.*))/2 1/' file
Output:
(2007) I Am Legend (1987) RoboCop (2001) Shrek
To edit file “in place”:
sed -i 's/(.*)((.*))/2 1/' file
