This is certainly an exhaustive list with many fine examples. Just to interject my measly 2c: your label of 'classical,' as simply an exclusion of all types of 'popular music' I can agree with, but most of these - originals culled from film scores, are really contemporary incidental music - since the express purpose of their composition was to enhance and assist the film. Not a classical purist am I - mad props to Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, and the like, I've got lots of their stuff - but as a catch-all genre, classical is pretty vague.
Point taken - I guess that was just my 'miss know it all' moment of the day. Trying to keep it down to one, you know. May I humbly recommend as a recent favorite, and certainly quite dramatic - Shostakovich's Concerto No 1 for Piano and Orchestra in C Minor, op 35. Cheers!
Wow, you've brought to mind some classics - and I don't mean classic filmmaking, I mean classic campy stories. Your thoughts on the remakes? My thought - why??
Look, it's Alphabetical! Outstanding List, I must say, I'm too mainstream (hit me over the head) to know most of these but I'm tickin them off and taking a listen. "Armageddon Dildos" doesn't exactly make me think of a great band however.
