Nice - Pop movie ... before a famous line from a film, an actors name or pretty much anything movie related and Google will try to fetch you something relevant - and it didn't do a bad job at all with the few quick searches i tried.

"Just in time for the Oscars, we've created a new "movie:" operator that enables you to find movie-related information faster and more easily, whether you're looking for titles or actors, director or genre, famous lines or obscure plot details. Can't remember the name of that film where Tom Hanks made friends with a volleyball? Search for [movie: Tom Hanks talking to a volleyball] and Google will tell you: it was Cast Away. Want rental recommendations? Try searching for [movie: awesome car chase] or [movie: good chick flick]."
