Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I've already seen it. It was good, I thought. Not quite 'breathtaking' by my standards, but solid. Too bad 'Source Code' was so poor.

If you have any other suggestions, I'd welcome them.

Surprised no one has mentioned this yet but you should check out Mr. Nobody.

Exactly, thats the one film I thought of instantly. To me its much better than the fountain. Black Swan also of course but thats a given, Mr Nobody has the same kind of feeling though as the fountain and is more visual.
