	While the existence of this quiz makes me very happy, mightn't the use of Fantasia and Amadeus be questionable since they're full of classical music? (Also - Life is Beautiful uses the Barcarolle "Belle nuit" from Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann! And Philadelphia uses "La mamma morta" from Giordano's Andrea Chenier, and Moonstruck uses a bit of La Boheme.)

	It's been a while since I've seen Saturday Night Fever, but isn't it the disco song "A Fifth of Bethoveen" or do they play the actual song?

	Love the concept, but I worry that you might need to broaden the answers accepted. There are certainly some that are famous for being used in a single film (Zarathustra, Adagio for Strings, Ride of the Valkyries, O Fortuna) but most of the others could have several correct answers. But again, love the concept.

	'Trading Places' should be your movie of choice for 'The Marriage of Figaro'. The opening scene, showing the start of a day in Philadelphia, uses the whole overture. I don't even remember it in Shawshank, though I trust it was in that, too.

	It was the record that Andy played with the beautiful singing voice over the prison grounds.

	Interesting that so many of these are films by Stanley Kubrick. The man liked the classics! (His use of "Symphony Fantastique" and Bartok's "Music for Strings..." in "The Shining" is another example...)

	Very difficult, even with the years. I was happy to recall some of these, but two Die Hard films in one quiz? There have been some good suggestions from other commenters. You could also consider adding Clair de Lune from "Oceans Eleven" or the Gnomus movement from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition in "The Big Lebowski."
