There was a time when music videos acted as trailers for the films that they were from. Some of the most romantic songs of all time are from movies. It amazes me how a song can take me back to a place and time in my life and that song is usually from a movie that I saw. These are some of the best that I could locate. Almost all of them are from the 1980s and beyond because that is when the music video really began.
First up is a video from a version of robin Hood that got it right. When romance is the center of the story it has always worked well. Robin Hood like so many other great stories is really just a tale of a love between one man and one woman.
The next is a song that you hardly ever hear, but the song along with the video and the movie are all unforgettable. The movie was the Princess Bride.
The next song and video is from Dirty Dancing, proving that not all romantic songs have to be ballads.
Same leading man and a completely different kind of romantic film. The movie was Ghost and the song is a classic.
No collection of music videos from romantic films could be complete without the biggest and best of them all. The movie is of course Titanic and the video is My Heart Will Go On.
I would now like to post two bonus videos because they are two of my personal favorites.
The director of both films, Rocky and the Karate Kid 2 would most likely argue that both films are romances at their heart. Stallone has said that with out the romance his Rocky does not work as a film and would not have won best picture. I am do not have to tell anyone who is a fan of the second Karate Kid film that it is a romance disguised as an action film. This song proves that point.
The last video is from a romance that is in danger of being forgotten. Please take a day, perhaps Valentines day, to check out Four Weddings and a Funeral.
