They showed this on Turner Classic Movies as a celebration of great composers. I just LOVE the night time visuals of the train passing, with this gorgeous score. A celebration of the humble simplicity of a train chugging away across a vast landscape. I am from Canada and I sometimes imagine a winter version of this scene with an old CPR train driving across the prairies in the middle of nowhere surrounded by snow with the foothills of the Rockies in the distance. John Barry wrote a lot of wonderful film scores including many 007 themes and won an Oscar for this one. He’s right up there with Ennio Morricone in my books.

My God that opening scene with wide lovely Africa and the music. It gives me a lump in my throat and chills.

❤Best theme music written by John Barry. Have watched this movie many times and it always makes me cry.

I loove this theme of the film "Out of Africa", film with Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. I cry every time I see the film. This is the most beautiful theme I ever heard for a film, it goes perfect with the film which is one of my favorite films ever. Full of passion and beauty. Thank you so much for this magnificent music!

I must have watched this film over 100 times....the theme music still makes me cry.... I lived the story.....

I remember when this movie came out. Saw it only on video (vhs) not in the theater and thought….”what’s the big deal?” When I got my big plasma tv, I had purchased the Blu-ray because it was REALLY cheap and thought….”eh, just want to see how the picture looks.” As an adult I was MESMERIZED and swept up in the story. BLOWN AWAY! Won best picture for a reason! ❤

This is when they knew how to make an epic movie. Great movie.

Souvenirs Un des premiers films que j'ai vu sir grand écran Une révélation J'avais acheté la cassette audio, à l'époque... Je vous parle d'un temps que les moins "de 30 ans" ne peuvent pas connaître... Meryl Streep est si touchante... Quelle grâce !

I was living in Kenya a couple of years some 50 years ago. Best years of my life!

Having been born and raised in Africa, I cried all the time during this scene

This is so beautiful from one of my all time favorite films. I get goosebumps every time I listen to it.

Among the finest opening themes ever written !

Best theme music by john barry ever. And the flying scene over the great rift valley....i cry every time i watch it....

Absolutely magnificent opening, both the scenery and the theme music. It touches my soul.

It's beautifully sweeping epic from beginning to end. Just the music creates the effects, along with any visual, but all that takes is one viewing of the film, and forever enchanted with Africa. .

Another classic sound track from the much missed genius John Barry,

I love this movie more than anything. It reminds me of a great love back then. My boyfriend at the time also flew and sometimes took me with him. Memories that last. To experience such a great love, I wish many people on earth. I get to experience it now. In addition to Meryl and Robert, I also liked Klaus Maria Brandauer very much. I'm a big fan of Brandauer and think he's one of the best actors in the world. Thank you Klaus Maria.

How wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Great movie and one of my all time favorites. Fantastic score by the legendary John Barry.

I have spent 25 years of my life in Africa, , I love the humble people, the wildlife's , the mountains and will always miss the wonderful sun rise and the sun sets too..Africa will always lives in my heart. This piece of music still gives me goosebumps today every time I hear it, and I still love witching this movie, too... Peace on Mother Earth and its peoples. ❤

Absolutely love this movie one of my all time favorites and the music just fits so well.

Everytime I visit Kenya I think of this theme. Beautiful.

Such beautiful music and a great movie

I just love everything about this film and just watching that little borrow gauge engine working it's way across that lovely country and John Barrie music just completely adds to the magic

One of my all time favourite movies never tire of watching it

This film with my favorite actors Robert Retford and Meryl Streep is one of my favorite films ever Full of passions and beauty. Love and greetings from Zagreb, Croatia 🇭🇷♥️

Best opening of all times. Sublime.

Plus belle musique Plus beau film Plus belle histoire d'amour Plus beau paysage Je ne sais pas pourquoi cela me touche autant.. l'Afrique, l'aventure, des choses certainement enfouies en moi... Le chef d'oeuvre du cinéma ✨

when i heard this song I always smile with tears

Read Splendor in the Grass in the early 1980's in Santa Monica & just knew this story would make a beautiful movie & with John Barry's music it became classic.

John Barry's music: simply amazing 🌟💯👍

I hum this song sometimes without knowing what movie cuz it was before I was born. Heard it somewhere once and just remembered it for years and now I know it’s from out of Africa

Schön. Dankesehr

I just finished watching it on TCM! I also have very wet eyes! I have seen it at least 6 times and still affects me this way.

Merveilleuse musique 🎶 et film bouleversent ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I so miss the music of john Barry ❤

John Barry make this inmortal masterpiece

Este filme e maravilhoso, tem uma trilha sonora igualmente maravilhosa.❤

One of my favourite panning shots in cinema at 2.12 to 2.36 where fittingly the credit for David Watkin as cinematographer appears on the screen. ❤

mi emoziona talmente, sarà sempre la nostra musica, per sempre

Very few films make me decide to go and see the places and locations depicted in the story. This was one.

John Barry's best, in chronological order Somewhere in Time Out of Africa Dances with Wolves

One of my favourite ❤

masterpiece

In 1985 I was “erg verliefd met” a Dutch girl and we went to the cinema in her home town to see this film, entitled “Een lied van Afrika” (a song of Africa) in Dutch. Unfortunately for me that relationship didn’t last, but the music still reminds me of her.

Um filme à né pas manqué ❗️tellement bien réalisé ?,les acteurs les meilleures ?je suis fascine par la beauté ?les images ? Un film merveilleux 🌼🌼

Maravilhosa música fez-me transporte para 1968 na Rodésia preciosas memórias 😊

Romance on screen does not get any better than this !

I had a farm in Africa, at the foot of the Ngong hills...

You can still see the train loco and carriages in the Nairobi railway museum near the station and Karen’s house.

Really something~ Thank You!

Thanks for upload

By 'eck - a reet grand soundtrack - not bad for a lad from Yorkshire!

I wander how much the Masai has really changed from when Blixen was there to when this movie was filmed? I would hope that most of what we saw in the movie has been completely unaffected, and would be, for the most part, essentially the same from 1914 to 1984.

My best friend, Wonderful video dear. I enjoyed watching. Hope to see you soon...

This is a Beautiful 😍 movie 🎬

I so much would have liked to have gone to Subsaharan Africa during that time

Que bello será esta 3speriencia xxxxxxx❤

Merveilleuse musique

Redford gets top billing, lol. Adore this movie.

Every time I climb ngong hills to see Finch hattons grave, I feel like I was a part of the movie.

I love this!

It is time for us to discuss these men in power in these countries who do not understand mother earth, im here bring them to me and lets deal

NGL they don’t make movies like this anymore. The sweeping epic tales that transport you to another world with humanity and soul are no more. The English Patient was probably the last of its kind. And no, MCU movies, while supremely entertaining, are not that.

Que rico por el desierto 🐫 😋 bendiciones ❤❤😂

Nice beautifoul

Such film will not be made now. Such is the prevalence of the cancel culture.

Oh! I'm fine : )

I believe that is Kilimanjaro at the end of the opening.

J’aimerais loue ce film en français.

Una de mis películas ,Me hi

Quero assistir o filme como faço? Já procurei e não acho.. podem me indicar

Amo. Sp. Brasil

John barry is goat

Ojalá estuviera subtitulada en Español.....

Excellent film comment le voir entier ?

Un sogno

Streep sounded like she had a sinus infection for the entire film, accents aren't her thing.😂

其氣勢磅礡堪與“與狼共舞” “教會 ”“大地英豪”“似曾相識”等電影主題曲媲美！
