      You should check out a cut, edit made by user Logic216 using A. Hamilton's, "I Used to Love Someone" here on CZcams. Brilliant, nostalgic, takes you way back. :)

      This and The Bodyguard were the two best soundtracks of the 90s.

    Somebody, somewhere has GOT to find a way to make the sequel. This movie was everything.

      The end of the movie certainly made it look like there would be a continuation. But, I would say leave it as it is. The ending let the audience's imagination run wild. It's one of the greatest love movies ever and really doesn't need a sequel.

    Looks here....my Favorite film of all time! What’s not to love about it? Black Love, Black Relationships, Black Fun, Black Realism, Black Acting at it’s Finest! Yes, I said that. We have many films that followed and are great, but like Nia said, this film was before it’s time. However, longevity has taken it to another level. We can say this about, The Color Purple, What’s Love Got To Do With It., Menace, Black Prez, all of Spikes.... the list goes on, but they all have that one thing in common. Staying Relevant and in Constant Rotation for us Black Colored Folks movies to watch and to pass down to generations. I saw Lorenz about 3 yrs ago at LAX and asked him, on a lil note...”What about Love Jones 2?” He smiled all that swag and handsomeness...”If it not by the beginning of the year, it probably won’t happen.” That year would have been the 20th anniversary. I was disappointed but accepted the reply. We have this gem, and to follow up, would be challenging. I still say Do It! All the same cast members are alive and look the same as they did back in 97. I’d be 1st in line and buy group tickets to see it. Can you dig that? I have the DVD and play the CD to this day. Ha, now the film is on Netflix, watched it twice already...Hello!
