Must-See of the Week: Revisiting “Imagine Me & You”
Earlier today, I was channel-surfing and suddenly came across one of my favourite movies: “Imagine Me & You”. Even though I have seen it numerous times and it was already halfway over, I was immediately captivated again and watched it to the end.
Luce (Lena Headey, left) and Rachel (Piper Perabo)
What I like about this movie is not only the beautiful love story and the romantic notion of love at first sight (which I do believe in – as I’ve said before, I’m a hopeless romantic), or that in the end, the girl gets the girl, but it’s the entire atmosphere and tone of the movie – the shots of autumn foliage on the streets and in the park, the beautiful music, the dialogues, the likeable characters and the great cast. I like that Rachel’s husband Hector is a decent and nice guy who only wants to make his wife happy but who just isn’t the right one. I like that Buffy’s “Giles” (Anthony Head) is in it, but this time in a very different, very funny role. And of course, I like the two women who are at the center of the love story: Piper Perabo and Lena Headey aka Rachel and Luce, who have great chemistry and make a beautiful couple – no wonder that they were mentioned in the “Favourite On-Screen Kiss” poll.
If you don’t know the movie, this trailer should be enough to convince you that it’s must-see:
And for those of you who already know the movie, here’s a reminder of why it is so great:

This is one of my favourite movies, too. I’ve seen it a thousand times and love it for it’s corny romanticism. And Piper and Lena…both incredible eye candy
. Piper is in a new show, Covert Affairs, in which she rocks if u get a chance to see it…
I sure hope that I get to see that show, especially after reading this blog post today:
Dorothy Surrenders – Gender Fuck Thursday: Special Agents
I have to agree with Dorothy Snarker: Piper looks damn good in a suit.
Da muss ich wohl sowas wie ne telephatische Leitung zum Fernsehprogramm gehabt haben…eine magische Kraft trieb mich am Wochenende zum DVD-Regal und liess mich entscheiden, mir mal wieder diesen wundervollen Film anzuschauen <3 <3 <3 …und wenn man dann so im Fieber ist, folgen noch Lost & Delirious, Die Töchter des chinesischen Gärtners, Grüne Tomaten …
