Can you name this piece of classical music?

Question

This is going to be tough, but I can't think of a better way to describe it. They play it in basically every movie when something goes crazy, or all hell breaks loose. It starts of with strings on their own, then as the craziness grows, other instruments jump in.

It repeats basically the same string of notes over and over again, just adding more instruments and getting louder as it grows. 

Any ideas?

''hall of the mountain king'' by Edward Grieg

The correct title is 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. It comes from the incidental music that the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg wrote for a production of Henrik Ibsen's play 'Peer Gynt' in 1875 (premiÃ¨red February 1876). It is also to be found as the fourth and last movement of the first suite Grieg extracted from the complete incidental music.
