Josh500 1,615 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 My girlfriend loves romantic comedies and dramas and I figured if I have to watch them with her, we might as well watch those that have great scores... I always heard Only You by Rachel Portman had a fantastic score, although I've never seen the movie. I like Pretty Woman from James Newton Howard and The Bodyguard from Alan Silvestri, although these scores are rather low-key. OK, what else? Any suggestions? Of course Sabrina (1995), by John Williams, but that's a given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher 350 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Some of my favorites. My Best Friend's Wedding - James Newton Howard Groundhog Day - George Fenton Love Actually - Craig Armstrong Breakfast At Tiffany's - Henry Mancini Only You - Rachel Portman Joe Versus The Volcano - George Delerue Soapdish - Alan Silvestri Four Weddings and a Funeral - Richard Rodney Bennett Not my personal preference of film music, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that I had a soft spot for that swelling type of mushy romantic music with sometimes guitars playing in the background.

Josh500 1,615 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 By the way, not just romantic comedies, but romantic dramas as well. Ghost from Maurice Jarre is also awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,694 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I don't tend to watch romantic movies - they bore me. I've seen Fools Rush In because it's set in Las Vegas. A couple of good song placements and a completely functional Silvestri score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,615 Posted December 26, 2018 Author Share Posted December 26, 2018 Well, I guess Titanic (1997) from James Horner belongs in this category as well! The mother of all love stories! 😂 bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurking on old threads. I love this score... it's tender and lovely and lots of other things. Listening to it now. I think the time of this sort of score is gone, which is a shame. This is unashamed loveliness. A small orchestra of strings and woodwinds... punctuated by harp and piano. Kills me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNHFan2000 2,967 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 A few more recent ones who all have lot's of nice moments Happiest Season - Amie Doberty is quite nice Wild Mountain Thyme - Amelia Warner Emma both from Portman & Waller-Bridge Last Christmas - Theodore Shapiro Long Shot - Beltrami & Hawkins Crazy Rich Asians - Tyler And Love Actually remains a favorite of mine. The Holiday by Zimmer has some wonderful moments as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,470 Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Water for Elephants is not only my favorite score for a romance, it's also one of my favorite JNHs ever: It's exactly the kind of movie I'd like him to do more, instead of all of these action blockbusters.
