    Possibly the best black love story film! Definitely one of my personal favorite romance movies. 😁😊

      ​@@rashadwalker8218It's difficult to get film studios to produce black films that don't involve Slavery or Civil Rights. They don't rock wit us like that

    Love Jones is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It came out my junior year in high school and I saw it that April during spring break. Loved it then and love it now more. At the time, I had a huge crush on Nina’s friend played by Lisa Nicole Carson. The soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks ever. Dare I say this soundtrack ushered in “neo-soul” music.

    I wish they still made movies like this, and I feel like it's needed now more than ever. 10/10. Black love forever 🤎

    Fun facts: Theodore Witcher the director of this movie did not want Larenz Tate to play Darius Lovehall because he only saw Larenz as O-Dogg from Menace & Society & Jada Pinkett Smith was the first choice to play Nina Moses. Nia Long is playing Katherine Jackson & Larenz Tate is playing Berry Gordy in The Michael Jackson Story that’s coming out next year. Larenz Tate is from Chicago. Darnell played by Khalil Kain will always be Raheem from Juice to me. Can we please get reactions to the following romantic comedies of the 90s:
    Strictly Business
    A Thin Line Between Love & Hate
    How To Be A Player
    Half Plenty
    The Best Man
    How To Be To Be A Player
    Half Plenty
    The Best Man

      I love this movie better than Thin Line between love and hate and The best man. Both main characters in those movies Darnell and Harper horrible and toxic.

    • @therealmarlonbellamy
      @therealmarlonbellamy 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@derickspencejr.6998 I agree with Darnell & Harper being horrible & toxic. The reason why people labeled Darnell as the victim was because Martin Lawrence was the biggest comedian at the time A Thin Line Between Love & Hate was released. Harper not only messed around with his best friend’s girlfriend & put in it his book, he had the audacity to blame Jordan & guilt proposed to Robin at the weekend reception.

    This movie is such a vibe and nostalgic. The storyline, tha random 90's black cast , and chemistry had me invested plus the motorcycle scene with Nia in shades was everything 😌💯🤌🙆‍♀️

    After 32 years of living this melanted life, I finally watched this film for the first time about 2 months ago. Boy, I can't believe it eluded me this long. It's amazing!

    One of the most artiscally made black films of the 90's era. With a Soundtrack that helped earth the neo-soul sound/artists. Stylistically there hasn't been another Black film in this genre made that matches its dialogue, photography, tone. And thats a good thing!

    So many beautiful black people in this movie. Larenz Tate was one lucky 21 year old when he did this movie and I’ve been loving Nia long since Big Momma’s house. Too bad Darius never met the ex Marvin because there’s no fighting in this movie. I love this movie 100 times more than Soul food. That movie gets on my nerves and especially Love and Basketball.

    As I’m in my 30s, I realize this is not the love story I thought it was when I was teen watching this for the first time. The cinematography and acting is good, but the plot is not giving love. He love bombed her, moved on once he got what he wanted (even though they weren’t exclusive), felt a way about her being with his so-called friend (nasty work on her part), and then ignored her when he got her back where he wanted her. Then, didn’t reach out for a year only to get back together on a whim. It wasn’t love. It was lust and the thrill of the chase.

    • @Fluer-de-Lis
      @Fluer-de-Lis 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      So basically, many modern relationships. I still enjoy it because many people don’t communicate effectively and it’s more realistic than some other love stories

      @calvinluciano 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      She said she was moving back in with her ex you expected him not to move on? Then she came back & got with his friend yet he was still nice to her. I think you became bitter as you got older tbh not everyone can relate to that
