   The first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony in C minor is probably the most famous piece.

   The poster who said 3rd movement of Beethoven’s seventh must’ve meant the 2nd movement, and it’s pretty recognizable, but it’s not on the same level of fame as the 5th first movement.
   I agree with Ride of the Valkeries, Ode to Joy, the 5th symphony, and I’ll add Fur Elise and Sugar Plum Fairies on to that. Handel’s Halleluiah from Messiah is there too, and the Cancan from Offenbach’s Orpheus in the Underworld. I would also agree with William Tell. There are plenty that I’m sure would be lovely to revisit.
   I found a youtube video that might be helpful. Its subjective so don’t take it as the final authority but…try this, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amXBUlgDw…

   also spracht zarathustra by strauss is another famous one, i think it was used as a theme to 2001: a space odessey and is now used in many commercials, cartoons, often as the music along to some funny spoof-gag.

   The main motive from Beethoven’s 5th symphony (first movement) is said to be the most recognized motive out there, so maybe that.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4IRMYuE1…

   How about “The William Tell Overture”? It was the theme song for The Lone Ranger.
