As for the film composer, he sure has taken a lot of material from other composers. (See: Holst's The Planets, Dvorak's 9th Symphony)
That was a joke.

Gustav Holst! Now there's a Romantic style composer I should not have forgotten in my initial list.

If listening to classical music by itself a very much prefer Beethoven.  His Fur Elise and Moonlight Sonata are to of my favorites, but who can forget the 5th symphony.   

I also love to watch classic Bugs Bunny done to classical music.  The one were Elmer sings, "I killed the Wabbit" is classic.  The one with Bugs as a barber is also great. 

Classical music in movies works very well.  Sometimes I like the music better than the movie.  2001 is a perfect example of this.

2001 is a perfect example of many things. *Sigh* what a great, great film.

This is funny because my music composition professor last semester was talking about how it was revolutionary when it came out, but considering it now it's not so amazing.
That was a joke.

If you are talking about 2001, that movie is great for timeless reasons, not graphix or anything.

I think he was mainly talking about how it gets really boring after a while. I haven't seen it in a long time so I should make a judgment for myself.
Anyway, I think TEM is right which renders Ambulance Y wrong, i.e. it's good because it's attained that place in the film pantheon, not because of intrinsic measurable goodness.
That was a joke.

It's nothing short of miraculous how classical music worked in 2001 (I didn't know for a while that "Thus Sprach Zarathustra", or whatever it's called, wasn't made specifically for the film). That, and it's just a cool flick (as I understand it, there's no talking for the first and last fifteen minutes, or something). That scene where man discovers the weapon still gives me goosebumps...

Heh heh, good old Schroeder. He's always playing Beethoven on his toy piano. Poor Lucy...
