You know you have my support on this Oy. :) I think people don't realise they actually enjoy classical music. As funny as that may sound, I direct them to their favourite films. One thing that makes a great film is it's musical score, which is quite often a classical one. LOTR, like Oy said, is an obvious one. Rob D's music for The Matrix was inspired by classical music. There are many others. I implore you to look at these three musicians first: Thomas Newman, Hanz Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams. Between them, they have put some of the most famous scores to film. Zimmer was the master behind 'Gladiator's' brilliant score. Thomas Newman has done a lot of great work; his choice of Mozart for 'The Shawshank Redemption' was a master stroke (symphony number 9, IIRC). Williams, of course, has composed music for the two latest editions of the Metal Gear trilogy to great acclaim, along with many great films. So, why not pick up the Official Soundtrack of your favourite film and appreciate the classical music within it? ;)
