There's tons of famous musical movements in my head, but I don't know the names of them or the composers. You know, stuff you'll hear in ads, recognize, and spend pointless time wondering who did it.
Is there a site that can help? Something that might have an interface like MIDI files of famous classical tunes and where I might have heard them? Movie credits and IMDb have been helpful, as have some preview sound files on Amazon, but I'm mostly in the dark. Amazon's previews are incomplete; the first thirty seconds might be nothing at all before it breaks into the more familiar music from "Ode To Joy", you know?
Looking for something like this:
"Thus Spake Zarathustra"
Play MIDI (This is only an example, not a real song file, sorry)
Where you probably heard it: 2001
