Check System Preferences, Accounts, and Login Items. See if somehow iMovie got into Login Items and is checked. If so, zap it.

I've seen this many times from people just starting to use OS X. An errant mouse click (or release) on the dock menu of an application causes it to "Open at Login". Happens to many people.

Checked and unchecked in that list only means it will be hidden. You have to remove it from the login items list if you don't want it to launch every time.

Also are you running Lion? Is iMovie completely quit before you reboot?
