I'll start with this, one of my favorites:
Carl Orff - "Gassenhauer," in Badlands (1973)

There's use of both classical and jazz versions of Franz Liszt's 'Liebestraum' in Mike Figgis' crime mystery 'Liebestraum' (1991) which features Kim Novak's final big screen performance to date.
'Liebestraum' - Earl Bostic And His Orchestra
Alcia Witt was a teenager when she performed it in the film and here she is performing it years later ...
Alicia Witt performs Franz Liszt

Several in 2001: A Space Odyessy. Fire Maidens from Outer Space used excerpts from the opera Prince Igor by Alexander Borodin. Another film with music from Prince Igor is "Kismet" (1953). The breakout hit song from that film, "Stranger In Paradice," is a melody from the dance episode that is excerpted as The Polovtsian Dances. Most of the other music and songs in "Kismet" are also from "Igor."

I think John Boorman used Wagner's Prelude to Parsifal to great affect in Excalibur.

Unfaithfully YoursConductor Sir Alfred DeCarter, suspecting his wife of being unfaithful, daydreams during a concert of various ways of dealing with the situation - from forgiveness to murder - to the accompaniment of Tchaikovsky, Rossini and Wagner. Afterward to similar accompaniment, we witness his preparations to carry out one of those schemes...to comically disastrous results. The Black CatThis first screen teaming of Karloff and Lugosi employs excerpts of pieces by Liszt, Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Beethoven, Schubert, Bach and Brahms between original cues by studio composer Heinz Roemheld. The Four Seasons
The eponymous compositions of Vivaldi provide witty commentary on the travails of three vacationing couples.

I think Legeti's Requiem, used for the first appearance of the monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey, is also used in Godzilla (2014) during the paratrooper sequence in the final part of the film.

I loved the use of Debussy’s Clair de Lune in this scene from OCEAN’S ELEVEN (2001).

Cavalleria Rusticana (Pietro Mascagni) for the opening credits for Raging Bull
Beethoven's 7th for the "War Speech" in The King's Speech
And, maybe the most brilliant use of a classical piece. In a silly cartoon
I heard the overture to The Barber of Seville for the first time and yelled "he stole that from Bugs!". The WB Shorts used lot of classical. Wagner, Mendelssohn and, as Bugs said "Ahh, the old masters. Bee-hoven, Brams, Batch"

Crud, forgot the opera scene from Philadelphia
I watched this scene and thought "we just watched Tom Hanks win an Oscar". He conveys the possibility that this might be the last time he hears this, and the joy and pain that goes with that.

A Clockwork Orange, most notably Beethoven's 9th.
