Those Corelli sonatas may be listed as Trio Sonatas if you can't find them the way I typed them.

Actually, film composers have liberally borrowed from earlier composers, either in actual thematic material, or in texture and orchestration.

John Willliams (one of the greatest film composers EVER) borrowed from The Planets to write the Star Wars scores.  He used a theme from Richard Strauss's tone poem Death and Transfiguration as the love theme in Superman.

There's even an encyclopedia used by film composers that gives examples of existing classical music for each mood.  For example, you look up "suspense" and get 20-30 references of music that sounds suspenseful, then you look at that music and try to see what makes it that way, then copy it.

You have good ears to notice that kind of stuff!

Apocalyptica look into them! They do some AWESOME stuff... they play a bunch of metallica songs with cellos and violins... awesome stuff

If you go down this road (which can be fun ), look for Christoper O'Riley's take on Radiohead.  2 albums of instrumental - very cool.  Loaded a huge playlist and my wife and I both looked up when it came on the first time - love it.

I could hear the star wars stuff in it but I knew it wasn't the same...just a lot of similarity.  But the  is DEFINITELY in Airplane haha

The Right Stuff has The Planets in it as well.
