Hopeless (Dionne Farris)
Sumthin' Sumthin' (Maxwell)
Of course, one of the most memorable moments in the movie came when Lorenz Tate broke it down in Brother to the Night! Do y'all remember this one?
I'm the blues in your left thing ... trying to become the funk in your right!

Hey Villager,
We choose the same movie soundtrack - LOL! I only posted Hopeless because it was my favorite followed by Brother To The Nite (didn't have time to post that one). Love, Love, Love me some "Love Jones."
Enjoy your weekend.
excellent choices. I almost chose this one as well. I loved that soundtrack
great choices. love the movie from beginning to end.
I love that movie!! and the song "Hopeless" was and is hot! And Lorenz Tate surely put it down with Brotha To The Night!
I'm not really a fan of Something, Something because it was sooo over played..
Technically, these ain't old school but I'll take it all day long! I posted "In A Sentimental Mood" from that soundtrack.
@ vivrant thing: yes. You pulled a rabbit from the hat with the song classic freddie's dead.
You better stop it up in here with that Maxwell...tee hee hee...
Nice work Villager. I remember that Maxwell song...dude needs to come back to the game!
Oooooh..........guess what? I absolutely love me some Maxwell!!! I'm a late bloomer, however, when it comes to him. I didn't really "discover" his music until a few years ago, and I ended up buying what was then his "old" CD's. I have to admit, that Maxwell's music has gotten me through some difficult times as I would play the CD's and they would soothe me and put me in a trance-like state. It's hard to explain.
Anyway, I have never watched "Love Jones", but I do love and appreciate Nia Long. I can go back even further as for my admiration of her work. Talking about "old school" and "back in the day"........I wonder how many remember Nia's early work on the soap operas. Yep, I remember her on "The Guiding Light" (CBS) way back when. This was before "Boys in The Hood" and any movies.
So......this has all put me in a nostalgic mood. I'm on my way now to play my Maxwell CD's.
Thanks! Smile!

This movie was one of the first "dates" I went out on with my now husband. I remember sitting there next to him and being like, "That's totally US up there!" --and we're from Chicago too? Oh yeah!
Needless to say, we have three copies of the soundtrack. I bought one on my own, he bought two, one for him and one for me to remember the date by. That one remains unopened to this day!
All - Great comments and insights! I enjoyed this week's OSF theme very much...
peace, Villager
I love those words
"your my chocolate sweet"
Maxwell-gotta love him
stop by sometimes Village we miss your comments!
Oh Dionne Farris is my girl!!!
I played this song over and over. It was far and away my favorite on the soundtrack. Good choice.
I thought about using Love Jones! Each one of your choices were great!
Never saw “Love Jones,” but I’m adding it to my list to watch. Thanks!
I looked up on YouTube for other Dionne Farris songs and found "I Know," a familiar tune.
Have a great weekend!
Great choices Villager. Love Jones is a classic movie and the soundtrack is still in the regular rotation around here.
Happy OSF!
Peace,

Love Jones seems to be a hit. It's a sleeper classic. You guys are going to make me dust off my DVD. And Maxwell **swooning** he's so good at what he does... and gives an EXCELLENT concert.
