Recently moved into a home in Florida which had the rooms painted about a year ago. The windows have a film on them to cut down on UV light. Problem is that when one of the rooms was painted about a year ago, there is an area about the size of a quarter of paint on the window.
Anyone have any suggestions on how I might remove the paint? (Initially I was going to use a safety razor blade, but I am afraid it might damage the film on the window.)
It depends on the type of paint used and the properties of the film. Goo Gone or denatured alcohol will remove latex paint. I don't have a clue as to what it might do to the film.
If an oil based paint was used scraping or replacing the film are the only options I can think of.

Replacing the film is not difficult.
Me, I'd make the "spot" part of a painted-on flower.
You can also cover it up with a tiny decal. They are sold in the 5&10 as decals for attaching to patio doors to make them visible and stop people from walking through them. Quite attractive, flowers, butterflies etc. Self adhesive.
paint is water based
