Vivaldi's The Four Seasons has some pretty recognizable parts in it, such as the first Allegro for Spring, which is popular for fancy receptions, or the Allegro for Winter, which is a great theme for a descent into madness.

Also, Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, a classic "something evil is about to go down" piece.
