Here's some that pretty much everyone would know:
Beethoven:
Symphony 5, 9
Fur Elise
Handal:
Messiah
Water Music
Royal Fireworks
Vivaldi:
Four Seasons
Bach:
Sheep May Safely Graze
Tocotta Fugue dm
Respighi:
Ancient Airs & Dances
Tchaikovsky:
Nutcracker Suite
1812 Overture
Mozart:
Eine Kleine Nactmusik
Exsultate
Strauss (Johann):
Blue Danube
Skaters' Waltz
Strauss (Richard):
Thus Spake Zarathustra
Mussorgsky:
Pictures at an Exhibition
Greig:
Pier Gynt Suite #2
Rossini:

There's a ton of small pieces such as opera arias and so on, but the above should be enough. Sorry if some of the spellings were a bit off--I was going from memory.

Beethoven: Symphonies 1 - 9
Hector Berlioz: Symphonie Fantastique (a real opium trip)
Borodin: Polovtsian Dances, from Prince Igor
Carl Orff: Carmina Burana (The Cleveland Orchestra with Michael Tilson-Thomas is the one to buy, here)
Mussourgsky: Night On Bald Mountain
Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsody #2 (if you ever watched old cartoons, you've heard this a hundred times)
Rossini: William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger music)
Barber: Adagio for Strings (heard in "Platoon")
Khachaturian: Sabre Dance (heard many times in circus and juggling acts)
Grieg: Piano Concerto in A minor
Dukas: The Sorcerer's Apprentice (made popular by Mickey Mouse)
Offenbach: Orpheus In the Underworld (think of French can-can dancers)
Ravel: Bolero (remember Bo Derek?)
Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture (for you old-timers: "This is the cereal that's shot from guns.")
That's not "as many as I can name," but it is as many as I have time to name, as I'm about to get off work now. Shhh, don't tell my boss.

Beethoven is annoying (everyone says Beethoven be they actually listen to it or heard in a movie)
I reccomend
-Bach: Toccata & Fugue For Organ In D Minor
-Vivaldi: Violin Concerto In E("The Four Seasons" - "Spring")
(if u like violin get some Vanessa Mae)
-Mozart: The Magic Flute
Serenade #13 For Strings In G

Beethoven "Fur Elise", "Symphony 5"
I think that is all I really know.
Oh, the theme from Swan Lake is a classical piece but I can't remember who composed it.
