Tropes used in Love Story include:
- 555: When Jenny goes to call Oliver's parents, he gives her a real-sounding phone number, followed by her dialing 555-5555.
- Award Bait Song: "Love Story", especially the Andy Williams version.
- Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Taken to such an extreme level it made Roger Ebert coin the term "Ali Mac Graw Disease", as in, "movie illness in which the only symptom is that the sufferer grows more beautiful as death approaches".
- Boy Meets Girl
- Chick Flick
- Downer Ending
- Expository Theme Tune
