Grieg's In the Hall of The Mountain King is the only one I can say I listen to on a consistent basis -

.

It's also probably best known for being in a lot of cartoons and comedies

The Planets by Gustav Holst...

Salieri: On the page it looked nothing. The beginning simple, almost comic. Just a pulse – bassoons and basset horns – like a rusty squeezebox. Then suddenly – high above it – an oboe, a single note, hanging there unwavering, till a clarinet took over and sweetened it into a phrase of such delight! This was no composition by a performing monkey! This was a music I’d never heard. Filled with such longing, such unfulfillable longing, it had me trembling. It seemed to me that I was hearing a voice of God.

Amadeus

There are 4 parts. I think I like winter best, I think summer least.

Also anything from the baroque period especially Albinoni, Geminiani, Rossi, Tartini, Bocherini, Scarlatti, Telemann, Corelli, etc (mostly Italian guys).
