Too many!
If it's choral, then probably Orff's O Fortuna.
Otherwise anything from Holsts Planets suite.
It's Evolution Baby!

Plants, seasons, moonlight sonata, paganini caprice 17 & 19
Not sure if asturias leyenda counts as classical? Also most of the castellana suites?
A bird in the hand....

oohh TOO much to list here...
But for just sheer emormity it has to be Berlioz Requiem.
However, I think that it HAS to be conducted by Sir Colin Davis and no other.
Its a BIG piece, it is moving.
EDIT:
For more unusual music, I like this chaps music, its just brill and he is so good at it.
Nothing that special, just different.

Elgar: Nimrod because it's just a beautiful piece of music, to me simultaneously combining
sadness and hope.
And can't remember the name of it, but this
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

I prefer contemporary classical music personally.
Some tasters
Shaker Loops by John Adams is one of my favourites, an easy introduction and great to hear live http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1aLwfDoaCsw
Vermont Counterpoint by Steve Reich http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P8fc-k9160
Rothko Chapel by Morton Feldman http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxSt_w2ODaQ
Dream by John Cage is one of his more accessible works http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UPlYnBFrI0
Mad Rush by Philip Glass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1vMpkIRAjo
The Platoon soundtrack is Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber
For Choral work Arvo Part is worth a listen.

Not really into classical stuff but The Ecstacy Of Gold ticks the boxes, probably down to the good the bad and the ugly bit mainly for whipping the
crowd up at the beginning of a Metallica show
1972 V8 Jago
1980 Z750

One to upset the classical purists is Frank Zappa's G-spot tornado

Bach's Toccata & Fugue in D minor (it was the music for the empty-field scene of the original Rollerball IIRC).
No match after hearing the organist play it in Manchester Cathedral a good few years ago. Proper hairs-standing-up-on-back-of-neck stuff!

Probably Dvorak From the New World Symphony in e minor.
Pictures at an Exhibition is good too, and Tchaikovsky writes a pretty good tune.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!

Arvo Part - De profundis
The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

I'm quite liking "Clair La Lune" off the Gran Turismo 4 soundtrack
Also Ride of the Valkyries and one off Elite 2, can't remember which one but I can hear it in my head now
