I agree with you on, "Symphony No. 7 - Beethoven" -- It's my Fave by him -- that one movement is so haunting.

Great movie to see -- "Immortal Beloved"

I'm a not very familiar with classical music, so excuse my potentially very newbish answer...

I love the There Will Be Blood soundtrack, composed by Jonny Greenwood. It's really eerie and it turned me on to more creepy classical music.

I also love anything Max Richter, he's great at what he does.

I'm a classical newbie but I love Mozart, 2nd is Beet, and Steve Reich and that song Music for 18 Musicians. Another from Reich is the Clapping Music.

EDIT:

and yeah, I love the whole Requiem album!!!! thanks Shred you mentioned!

*****

Song titles of classical music confuses me like Symphony #[insert a number] then [insert music tempo]

"Toccata and Fugue in D minor"-Bach

"Adagio Cantabile"-Beethoven

"Benedictus"-Mozart

"Gloria In Excelsis Deo"-Vivaldi

"Ave Maria"-Bach
