Best songs used in love scenes

[Optimus_Prime_]

To keep this PG-13, I'm going to let you classify "love" as anything you please (although you probably get the idea). What songs have you felt were really great in love scenes. I was watching Watchmen yesterday and just realize how awful I thought the song selection was for the Owl Ship love scene, so I thought "which ones have I liked". The one that sticks out to me is the song "Comfortably Numb" by Van Morrison (cover for Pink Floyd) used in the DiCaprio/Farmiga love scene in The Departed. I thought it was an interesting, unique and very solid choice for the scene. Really enhanced the mood and atmosphere. There have been other times though they'll use some slow jamz stuff that just really makes the scene cheesey and cringeworthy.

Any thoughts on this.

Probably should've called this "Best Love Scene Music"

"Take My Breath Away" in the Top Gun love scene. Now that was a perfect song for the time and the movie.

That's a good one, I had forgotten about that one.

the scene with demi moore and swayze in ghost is pretty iconic with the song unchained melodies by The Righteous Brothers.

Massive Attack - Unfinished Sympathy in Sliver. I just love the song.

Eh, it's not in the movie, but I always thought that Frank Zappa song Stick it Out with the german and "Don't get no **** up on the sofa, sofa" with the sexbot would have worked really well in Blade Runner.

Counting Crows "Color Blind" - Cruel Intentions

I loved the watchman scene lol. It was so messed up of a choice it amused the hell out of me. Made it surreal.

Hallelujah (Watchmen)

fixed that for you FYI you only need to post what comes after the 'equal' sign in between the YT tags

Jefferson Airplane, "Somebody to Love," A Serious Man

I thought they way overdid that scene. It's hard to complain when you get to watch Malin Ackerman mimic porn in front of God and everyone, but it was over the top. The comic didn't spend nearly that amount of time on it (erm...panels). The music was a tad overpowering, especially when a simply score would've worked. To each their own though.

 

[Darkness Falls]

Don't fear the reaper - gus from the first scream movie

 

[xwolverine2]

the best song is easily "i dont wanna close my eyes" by aerosmith for armageddon..as cheesy as it may be now

the most iconic is a tie between the pottery scene song in ghost and the titanic song..

 

[Rowsdower!]

William Tell Overture - A Clockwork Orange.

Brings a tear to my eye every time.

This one was the first one that popped into my brain when i saw this topic

They don't even make love to that song in the Watchmen GN. It's to "You're my thrill" by Billie Holliday. they even included it on the soundtrack, but went with that TERRIBLE version of Hallelujah instead.
It completely changes the meaning of the scene, which is that Nite Owl can only get it up when he does something heroic.

I'm gonna go with take my breath away from Top Gun.

Take My Breath Away

The grow old with you song that Adam Sandler sings to drew Barrymore at the end of the wedding singer. Personaly I think that is Adams best film. I don't even register that its adam sandler.
