When remember means ‘bring to mind the memory of somebody or something or think of again (i.e. recall) then can/could is usually optional: ‘I (can) still remember the sad look on her face.’ Use can/could to suggest effort: ‘I just can’t remember how the film ended.’
When remember means ‘have or keep the memory of somebody or something in your mind’, it is usually used WITHOUT can/could: ‘I hope you still remember me.’ ‘I’ll always remember the night we first met.’
