Who loves a good movie? Who loves a good love story? 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: 1. The Umbrellas of Cherbourg My favorite of all favorite movie love stories, this 1964 French movie (with English subtitles) is sung through and tells the story of two young lovers, Geneviève and Guy, ....who are separated when Guy is drafted to fight in the war in Algeria.
...and the film's theme has to be close to the most beautiful movie music ever written. Here's the Youtube link to the theme from "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JS4JMY0JWM 2. The Painted Veil
Here's the link to the movie's meltingly beautiful theme, "River Waltz": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urci4i9zX6M 3. An Officer and a Gentleman In this 1982 movie a young Richard Gere plays an emotionally lost young man from a sad, lonely background who, during his rigorous training as a U.S. Navy Aviation Officer Candidate,
This movie also has some heart-melting music in its theme, "Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaZ3t_tQxZM 4. Lili This 1953 movie is one of my all-time favorite heart-tugging movies, one I can watch over and over again. "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.
Here's the link to a clip in which the characters sing the theme song of this sweet little movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLIUzUnoomY 5. Cinderella Liberty This 1973 movie tells the story of a sailor on what was meant to be a "Cinderella Liberty" - leave that ends at midnight - who, when his paperwork is lost by the Navy, inadvertently becomes involved with a prostitute,
This heart-wrencher also has a hauntingly beautiful love theme written and sung by Paul Williams. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEQ8ZAL893Y 6. Brokeback Mountain I guess everybody knows the story of this 2005 movie about the hopeless longing of two gay men who meet and fall in the rugged mountains of Wyoming in the early 1960's. Here's the link to this movie's lovely theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEdhYYTp7lc And those are my recommendations for the best love story movies with the most beautiful love story music. May you enjoy a few of them! Happy Valentine's Day, everybody!
