The Very Thought of You (1999)
Laurence recounts to his neighbour how his life long friendship with Frank and Daniel has been overturned in just three days by their each independently meeting, and falling for, Martha, who has no idea of their connection. Slowly the tale unfolds, the narrative moving backwards and forwards gradually filling in the gaps until we see the whole picture

One of my all time favorites.
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
I can never remember what it's called! I've only ever seen it when it's on television, and they refer to it as "The Very Thought of You," which I find as a very inappropriate title. The other title is an improvement, though I have to admit it's a bit wordy. Other than that, I really enjoy watching this movie. I love the idea, the cute British guys, the setting, and Monica in this role. She's like a blonde Julia Roberts. Don't get me wrong, I'm not usually this approving of most movies. In fact, anyone could argue that this movie is like any other romantic comedy. Though something's different in the formula that makes this stand apart from the rest. Just don't ask me what it is... Call me a hopeless romantic in need of a vacation.
I liked this. I saw it not more than five minutes ago, and I already want to see it again! I usually hate romantic movies, but this had enough twists to make it enjoyable. The actors looked like real people, and (thank god!) acted like them! Insecurities associated with dating came through brilliantly, and the two main characters really shined. I recommend this, especially for people who like quirky movies... And if you like this, try I.Q.! JD
This is a sweet, charming romantic comedy with a playfully self-referential plot knitted together in flashbacks from different characters' points of view: David Lodge's 'Small World' meets Hal Hartley's 'Flirt'. A woman comes to London to start a new life, and bumps into three very different men who all fall for her. She doesn't know that they're friends; they don't know that she's met all of them. She thinks she's lost the one she's fallen head-over-heels in love with, he thinks he's lost her. But we know that it'll all come out right in the end, because it's that kind of film.Furthermore it has Joseph Fiennes looking soulful, and Rufus Sewell in a part he wanted "because I got to smoke cigarettes and say 'f*ck!' a lot". Definitely one for a girls' night in.
I can understand people in the US wont rent this movie, the cover seems really like false advertising! I mean Potter looks totally different - she does't look like that in the movie! and it says sth "sexy" film- which is totally the opposite from what it is!!!
