Best Williams "Love Theme"

[robthehand 3]

I guess I'll regret making this into a poll...

Which is your favourite? I like the Temple of Doom's the best. (Leia's Theme doesn't count .)

Luke and Leia is IMO JW's most ravishing love theme.

Way to shake things up, Neil!

Justin - Who chose the same.

[stuttersteps 1]

Always loved those simple eight bars from The Terminal.  Just Beautiful.

i wholeheartedly agree. just caught the film two weeks ago and cant stop listening to the score.

as you said, so simple yet so beautiful..

[fommes 153]

Temple of Doom.

[Jacck 23]

Doesn't the theme from Sabrina count?

[MrScratch 294]

Jane Eyre, so I voted "Other". Han Solo and the Princess is a very close 2nd though.

[Henry B 50]

Superman - The Movie.

[scissorhands 16]

Always theme. That's love.

[JoeinAR 1,949]

Superman the Movie, its clearly the very best of the very best John has ever done

I have always had a liking for Luke and Leia; it is certainly one of JW's most accomplished and mature pieces. Shame it got a measily 5 mins of screnntime...

"Across the Stars," closely followed by "Han Solo and the Princess."

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

I'll second that Sabrina should be on there.

But I think I'd still vote for "Can You Read My Mind". The theme from Sabrina is more romantic, though, IMO.

[JoeinAR 1,949]

lets get this straight, especially to the newbies, and the pollster,

the Superman love theme is not the flying sequence, and its not Can You Read My Mind.

[Unlucky Bastard 7,782]

angry!Joe.

[Kendal_Ozzel 36]

The same theme is present in all of them. That is the theme to which I refer: the Love Theme from Superman: The Movie.

angry!Joe.

not angry just point out they are all three different

[robthehand 3]

Then surely you should vote "other" - it's an option.

Well it does say "The Flying Sequence etc." so perhaps he means all three.

For me it really depends on which factors I take into account. Musically, the Love Theme from Superman, Marion's Theme and Han Solo and the Princess are, well with the lack of a decent vocabulary, beautiful. In that way they are my favourites.

However, Across the Stars has so much story to tell. And the theme tells it so wonderfully, and hauntingly. A true test of Williams composer abilites. The only minus is really the similarity to the Hook-theme. But, I'm confident I can overcome it...

So Across the Stars it is!

[Greg1138 3]

Tough call this one.........but went for Superman in the end...

[Lurker 5]

Finally, Superman - The Movie smokes The Empire Strikes Back!

[John McClane 1]

I voted for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, althought Raiders (which is pretty similar) and Superman - The Movie are very close.

Was there even a chance that anything else would be in the number one slot?

Anthony, still rather partial to "Jane and Logan" from The Missouri Breaks,

"Art & The Minister" - Patrick Doyle, Needful Things

For me it has always been the Love Theme from "Jane Eyre". This early work captured both the great love between the two main characters, Rochester and Jane, as well as hints to the tragedy that their love will unfold.

Pieces of this writing can be found in later works as "Susan and Doug" from "The Towering Inferno", "Remembering Catherine" from Presumed Innocent", as well as the most recent " AcrossThe Stars" from "Attack of the Clones".

Secondly I do enjoy the Love Theme from "Superman - The Movie". This simple yet beautiful theme was the perfect accompanyment to the heroic doings of the main charcter. The lyrics by Leslie Bricusse conveys the wonder of Lois to this "God" who "belongs in the sky" to whom she falls hopelessly in love .

The lyrics, the way they are delivered that is, makes me want to--oh no, I'll be right back--

The theme itself is wonderful, though.
