Add to which their music was a major component of the fun 
anti-vampire movie Blade (with Wesley Snipes) and also is in a 
commercial for a new (Olds?) car called I think the Alero or 
something like that.

Battlestar Galactica would be another good choice. 

Music from the Rock soundtrack (Movie with Sean Connery and Nicholas 
Cage), music from the rarer Hunt for Red October sound track 
(excellent orchestral stuff, fast paced), Danger Zone from (shudder) 
the Top Gun soundtrack (for your Fighter Jockeys), and of course 
anything military with the Bagpipes.... (Broadcast over the airwaves, 
spread spectrum, maximum ERP - better than any other kind of jamming 
and inspiring for your troops, morale shattering for your foe....).

Vivaldi would be a little out of place. 

> Ohyeah. I've played the first violin part to Marche Slave. Pretty
good...and

Anything by Wagner (of course, to the NSL he's VAG-ner).
