Love Songs

The song "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" is a great love song I think. Adrian Grenier performed the song in a recent episode of Entourage. And it's no doubt been performed many times on TV and in movies. For example Heath Ledger sang it to Julia Styles in the movie "10 Things I Hate About You".

Just for yucks I put together a list (playlist) of love songs. I searched the internet a bit first to get a feel for what other people like and what surprised me is how little consensus there is on love songs. Almost everybody has a different favorite love song so I suppose the list I came up with would just be a sampling.
For the most part I prefer love songs with lots of emotion or passion and I don't care if they're sappy. As an example of my perspective I would use the scene from the movie Dan in Real Life where Dan's middle daughter's boyfriend drives off and the girl goes nuts, she totally goes to pieces. I got a kick out that scene. She's so over the top. But that's how it feels if you really let yourself go and you're a passionate person. That's how an emotional teenager would act it seems to me. Before we become "grown-up" and learn to be in control.

The tail end of this clip shows part of the scene I'm talking about.


Here's my list:
