A serendipitous example that's too good to pass up.

About two hours after this column had been posted I was checking my RSS reader and found a new blogpost by Alan Levine who reported on his good fortune at finding the name of a movie he couldn't remember:

As a shot in the search darkness, I google it. I know it was a russian film about boys and a father, it was black and white, and it involved an incident at a tower. So the magic phrase is russian movie boys father black white tower.

I should have pressed the I’m Feeling Lucky button cause the answer was the first one! The Return was the English title for Vozvrashcheniye.

I couldn't have asked for a better example.
