MOVIE LOVE SONGS

The following list contains classic love songs, many of which were written specially for inclusion on movie soundtracks, but you'll also find some popular songs that were not conceived for the silver screen, but which were later memorably featured in motion pictures; an example of the latter is Jamie Cullum's performance of the 1960's classic EVERLASTING LOVE on the soundtrack of the second "Bridget Jones' movie in 2004.
