Night on Bald Mountain (Mussorgsky), The Planets (Holst), and Ride of the Valkyries (Wagner) are all pretty badass but often get used in movies, game trailers, even ads without being named.

EDIT: Everyone likes links, ja?

God, the planets inspired pretty much every goddamn sci fi soundtrack. Everyone gets the imperial march, but i’m talking right back before even Haskin’s War of the Worlds and Journey to the centre of the earth, past SW and wrath of khan and into Foundation.
