Love Jones - Valentine's Day is here, and we're in the mood to revisit some of the greatest expressions of Black love on the big screen. Our list of best moments from Black rom-coms starts with the classic Love Jones. It was love at first sight when Nina Mosley (Nia Long) heard Darius Lovehall's (Larenz Tate) "Blues for Nina" at the start of this film. Girls swooned and guys wanted his swagger.(Photo: Addis Wechsler Pictures)

Two Can Play That Game - Sometimes games can be a good thing. For example, the sexy little Q&A Morris Chestnut plays with Vivica A. Fox: "Can I ask you some questions? If I'm right about you, the answer to all of them will be yes. Do you like chocolate? Do you find me attractive?" Were we swooning by end of this movie? Yes.(Photo: Sony Pictures)

The Wood - Before there was The Hangover, there was The Wood, the story of a groom with cold feet and his two best friends taking a trip down memory lane just hours before his wedding. Best moments are the flashbacks to the '80s, hilariously cringe-worthy for those of us who remember that decade.(Photo: Paramount Pictures)

The Best Man - Sometimes a girl's best laid plans to, well, get laid can end in disaster. That was Nia Long's luck when she tried to seduce her friend Taye Diggs, even though he already had a girl. Despite her best efforts (and some lingerie so hot we're surprised it didn't burn through the celluloid), Nia and Taye's rendezvous ended with a busted-up eye, and more than one broken heart.(Photo: Universal)

How Stella Got Her Groove Back - After Psycho, this movie had perhaps the best shower scene ever. Picture it: Angela Bassett. Taye Diggs. Jamaica. Make-up sex that starts with Bassett joining Diggs in the shower, fully clothed, and ends with them naked and embracing in bed. Hotter than the island sun.(Photo: 20th Century Fox Films)

Coming to America - When it comes to romantic comedies, Coming to America definitely leans more towards comedy. But when a dejected Prince Akeem (Eddie Murphy) unveils his bride to discover his true love, Lisa, standing with him at the alter, the glow on his face is heartwarming. And maybe a little corny.(Photo: Paramount Pictures)

She's Gotta Have It - Nola Darling has three boyfriends (simultaneously) and lots of questions about sex. But it takes a dressing down from a woman (a sex therapist played memorably by S. Epatha Merkerson) to help her find some answers.(Photo: Island Pictures)

Something New - One doesn't think of pedicures as sexy, but the local Vietnamese beauty parlor probably doesn't do them like Simon Baker when he paints Sanaa Lathan's toes lust-red (while they're in bed, no less), bringing a direly needed blast of color into her beige life.(Photo: Gramercy Pictures)

Boomerang - Second only to Angela Bassett's fury in Waiting to Exhale, Halle Berry pulls out the best line (followed by a slap) uttered by a woman to her cheating man in Black rom-com history: "Love should've brought your a** home last night!" Eddie Murphy's cheek must have been hurting for years after.(Photo: Paramount Pictures)
