Yay! Thread-jacking! Please do!

Now we'd have to know if you mean a regular movie that uses classical music in its soundtrack...or just a movie (like Amadeus) about music?

In the case of the latter, I'll take Red Violin. Except the music is actually newly composed "classical' music. Haunting, too.

In the case of the former, there's the classic scene from 2001 Space Odyssey set to the Blue Danube Waltz. I'll have to think on what my actual favorite is, though...

A couple of mine:

"Together" is a great movie about a young violin prodigy and his teacher. Highly recommended if you like Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D, Opus 35 as much as I do. It's a Chinese film, watch it with subtitles.

Shine--if you haven't seen this movie yet and you claim to like classical music, then you're missing out.

Those are probably my top two.
