Days of Heaven

I was listening to the radio this morning and they were playing Camille Saint-Saens "Carnival of the Animals".  When they got to the movement, "Aquarium", I was transported to Terrance Malick's "Days of Heaven", that marvelous 1978 visual tone poem of a film.

Here are the opening credits with the Saint-Saens  music.
