Is it, The Fountain? That was a decent show. Pretty good acting, but the story was kind of corny. I liked Sunshine a bit better. Equally implausible, but less melodramatic.
How about this one:
"The man likes to play chess; let's get him some rocks."
Extra kudos if you know the name of the character who said it, too.

You got it! 🙂 I didn't think it was particularly corny because to me it was allegorical.
I particularly liked the quote I used because it shows how arrogant we are in viewing death as a failure of science rather than a natural, inevitable thing. There seems to be a feeling that the right breakthrough in medicine or technology will allow us to finally conquer death.
I haven't seen Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (that's what you meant, right?) but it's on my list.

Sunshine came out in the theaters around the same time as The Fountain did, I think. I seem to remember seeing both within the same week. Sunshine is about this group of scientists who have to travel to the Sun in order to re-light it somehow. Neat show.

That is "Shawshank Redemption", the line was said by "Red" (Ellis Redding). I think it was after Andy was discussing a deal with Captain Hadley about his gained money. And Andy offered to help Hadley, if his "co-workers" received beer. Later on Andy is beaten by the sisters; Red and company felt sorry and decided to get rocks so when Andy returned he could finish a chess set.
I think this is wrong. I did this for film study last year - so don't call me a freak. 😛

Nice! Well done! Kudos to you!
I'll take a stab at yours. Is it, V for Vendetta? I doubt that's it... Or that French chainsaw movie, the title of which escapes me... I doubt that's it either though...

Shakespeare in Love
How about: "A building is a symbol, as is the act of destroying it. Symbols are given power by people. A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world."
