S Smith unregistered	While it may not be wholly a romantic film, like "Shakespeare in Love," I think that some of the music from "Life is Beautiful" is somewhat romantic. I think a lot of it is being able to relate "romantic" scenes from the film to the soundtrack while it's playing. Also, Williams' "Sabrina" (I think) is quite good.

LesterMoos unregistered	Dangerous Beauty by Fenton is definitely a must have for romanticists. IMO absolutely beautiful. Some others I like are: Sense & Sensiblity Little Women IL Postino Somewhere in Time NP Alive

SFT Oscar® Winner	Well, romatic scores are not really my favorite genre, but of the top of my head, I think that there is some very romantic and haunting music in Bernard Herrmann´s "Vertigo", and (you may find me a bit odd for saying this) but I actually think that "Dick Tracy" by Danny Elfman has some very romantic music in it also. Especially "Breathless´Theme" and "Tess´Theme". SFT NP: Black Beauty, Danny Elfman

Alain P Oscar® Nominee	John Barry has written the MOST romantic (and sad) film music I've ever heard. His best love themes: The Scarlett Letter- Love Scene My Life- Main Title Out of Africa- End Title High Road to China- Love Theme Harry Gregson-Williams' work in Armageddon, and The Whole Wide World is also pretty good too. Have a nice day! NP- Regarding Henry (Zimmer)- Henry VS Henry

Will Oscar® Winner	I have to agree with all of you that Titanic, Armageddon and Legends of the Fall contain romantic scores. But I wish to add in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman by Jay Gruska. Gruska did a wonderful job in composing the love themes for this soundtrack. It instantly gives me the romantic feeling whenever I listen to it.

Gae Oscar® Winner	I know its not exactly "topical" but the score to "Casablanca" has to be one of the most romantic esp. final scene at the airport. Gae

LesterMoos unregistered	This isn't really a film score but the piece is from the movie Les Parapluies De Cherbourg (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg). It's called I Will Wait For You and it's by Michel Legrand. The cd it is on The Warm Shade of Memory by Michel Legrand Trio. It also contains music from other movies that Legrand has scored including Summer of '42. Very romantic IMO.

James Oscar® Winner	My two favorites: Ever After [George Fenton] Not Since Casanova [John Debney] I'm sure many people are familiar with Ever After, but Not Since Casanova is a little-known romantic Debney score with two beautiful love themes which receive masterful variations throughout the score. I also like the theme from Nino Rota's Romeo & Juliet, and although I haven't heard the whole score, it's on my list of scores to acquire. NP - TOMBSTONE (Bruce Broughton)

joan hue Oscar® Winner	Young to middle aged to older. All sorts are here. My favorite romantic theme is Barry's Robin and Marian. Hope the full score is produced some day. Also enjoy the love theme from Howard's Dying Young. NP Out of Africa: The Classic John Barry

scoreaholic unregistered	Romantic scores are not my favorite as well, but I do have some favorites such as Braveheart, and Legends of the Fall. I also think that Titanic is very good. Another romantic score that is excellent, and that I picked up because he is my favorite composer right now (which means he is still composing music today that I enjoy), is Oscar and Lucinda by Thomas Newman. A very excellent score.
