"What's Opera, Doc?" is one of the best Bugs Bunny cartoons of all time.

DeBussy's "Clair de Lune"
Tchaichovski's (sp) Nutcracker suite <-- for christmas
Holst: The Planets
Mozart's Requiem

off the top of my head.
 
there is one song that is very common across commercials and movies and etc etc etc

its called "O Fortuna".. search anything to do with Carmina Burana and Carl Orff to find it.

technically its not classical, as the renditions are recent.. but Carl Orff composed them back during World War II (before it as well), and the Carmina Burana collection of work is incredibly old, dating back nearly 700 years iirc.

Sorry. I actually pulled that off the web, since it would have taken too long to type it in manually. If you want more I have about 4000 classical songs (though a lot are repeats), I can rip a winamp playlist. 😎
 
A little surprised no one has mentioned Copland. Americans can play this game, too. Try Fanfare for the Common Man or Appalachian Spring

I would have but just saw this thread.

Aaron Copland is great.

I also recommend Dvorjak - New World Symphony, among others.
