TOP TEN ROMANTIC MOVIES

#10 All About You

#9 Hav Plenty

Nicole is crazy about her boyfriend, Robbie, and is heartbroken to find out that he's planning his future without her. She moves to a new city to start fresh, but strangely enough discovers that Robbie's brother Brian has rented her new roommate's room for the next month. Soon, Nicole and Robbie can't help but cross paths again, making them wonder whether they made the right decision.

Christopher Scott Cherot, the writer, producer, director, editor, and star of Hav Plenty, is also the chief source of charm in this jaunty, loosely stitched African-American love comedy.Cherot plays Lee Plenty, a would-be novelist with no particular address who falls hard for well-to-do, hard-to-get Havilland Savage. Plenty has trouble making headway with the object of his affection ( she's already got a fiance). Meanwhile, he connects with the rest of Hav's crowd, including her grandma, her married sister , and her vampish, hot-for-Plenty girlfriend. "Nancy! Sluggo! Elvira!" is how he greets Hav's sister, brotherin-law, and pal. Clearly Cherot has put his pop-cultural scholarship to good use.

This is a good movie for a rainy day and will make you question your past loves.

#8 Brown Sugar A woman wonders if it's just friendship or real love she feels when a close male friend announces he's tying the knot in this romantic comedy. Dre and Sidney became best friends when they were ten years old -- the same time that both first became aware of the first rumblings of the Hip Hop revolution in New York City. Today, Dre runs a successful record label, and Sidney is a respected music journalist. While both have always denied their attraction to one another, Sidney begins to have second thoughts when Dre proposes to his girlfriend Reese, a lawyer. Brown Sugar features supporting performances form real life Hip Hop stars Mos Def and Queen Latifah.
