I've rarely noticed discussion of romantic music unless it's part of some other genre (the soaring love theme from some epic/fantasy/etc.) So I'd like to hear what you-all love in the way of chick-flick-romantic-whatever-you-wanna-call-it scores. No spacecraft chases in Ultra-Stereo, no helicopter shots of advancing armies, no mutant monsters from another dimension in 3-D. Extra points if it made you cry or swoon. I'll open with THE WAY WE WERE and THE PROMISE. |

Good luck getting this crowd to admit to much crying or swooning. These make the handful that come most quickly to my sense memory. Each has raised a knot within my chest at least once, while I have sobbed at some repeatedly. All have exceptionally penetrating emotional power. * A. Newman's WUTHERING HEIGHTS (1939) * Steiner's NOW, VOYAGER (1942) * Herrmann's THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR (1947) * A. Newman's A CERTAIN SMILE (1958) [my own favorite score for any film I've never seen] * Goldsmith's ISLANDS IN THE STREAM (1977) [not conventional romance] * Barry's SWEPT FROM THE SEA (1997) However, while the following films are not romances (strictly speaking), all are blessed with a memorably moving, haunting "love theme:" * Korngold's THE SEA HAWK (1940) * A. Newman's A MAN CALLED PETER (1955) * Herrmann's VERTIGO (1958) * Rozsa's EL CID (1961) * Barry's ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE (1969) * Herrmann's OBSESSION (1975) * Goldsmith's THE RUSSIA HOUSE (1990) (Hey, fellas -- take some advice and show these DVDs to your dates. Just match each movie to the right woman!) |
