Serendipity

Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.. Apparently, it happens to Jonathan (John Cussack) and Sara (Kate Beckinsale) who meet while doing some last-minute holiday shopping in Manhattan. Their eyes meet as each reaches for the same pair of cashmere gloves, the only black ones left on the shelf so late in the season. He gallantly insists that she take them and in return, she buys him coffee and dessert at her favorite restaurant, Serendipity.

The two spend a magical night together -- skating at Rockefeller Center, gazing at the constellations (never mind that you couldn't see the stars for the city lights) and frolicking in the snow. At the end of the evening, he asks for her number but she refuses, insisting that they will meet again if fate allows..

The plot twists as the two try to find one another in New York City, seemingly against all odds, although they're closer than either of them knows. Their paths ALMOST cross several times, but not quite. Will they ever find each other? Will they find each other again before Jonathan marries Halley? Or will it be too late?

This is one of my lifetime-favorite movies after all...

I love when it (LOVE) came unexpectedly...
