Who loves a good movie love story?
Who loves a good movie love story with a beautiful song that gently drifts throughout the movie?
For those who raised their hand to any or all of the above, I am, in honor this being Valentine's Day, sharing my top five - make that six - favorite movie love stories that have beautiful love theme music as well:
The good-bye scene in the Cherbourg railway station has to be one of the most heart-tugging good-byes in movie history, |
Here's the Youtube link to the theme from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg":

In this 2006 film Edward Norton and Naomi Watts play a British doctor and his wife who travel to a remote area in the mountains of China, |
to fight the 1920 cholera epidemic. |

4. Lili
"Lili" tells the story of an orphaned French teenager, alone, friendless and with nowhere to go who joins the circus, where she becomes part of the puppet act.
Every night she pours out her heart to the puppets, |
...and through them to the young, crippled, embittered puppeteer who also opens his heart through his puppets to her. |
