Sometimes, I feel like letting my sappy, sentimental side out for awhile. This is one of those times.
So anyway, I was just wondering…what’s YOUR favorite “love theme” from a Hollywood soundtrack?
And remember, this is movie soundtracks only. It doesn’t have to be an instrumental piece from the original score—though that certainly helps—but it has to have been used as the official “love theme” in the movie/soundtrack.
My top picks, at the moment…
“Rachel’s Song” from the Blade Runner soundtrack.
“Take my Breath Away” by Berlin, from Top Gun
“Across the Stars” by John Williams, from Star Wars—Attack of the Clones
If by hollywood you mean movies in general, the best theme ever is Helena’s Love Theme from the italian movie “Cinema Paradiso”, do yourself a favour and download it, afterwards you’ll buy the complete soundtrack (which is simply magnificent) and you’ll see the movie (my favourite one).-
Not only is the theme great but the scene were it is played is just perfect. Everytime I see it I wish I were so deeply in love.-
I like the love theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark. More Williams, I know, but it’s good old-fashioned stuff. I’ll also second the Attack of the Clones love theme, Across the Stars - very well done, though the title is terrible.
The love theme from Edward Scissorhands is terrific too. Can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head.
