Opera--Not the Browser

Lots of folks like the musical form known as opera. Some like opera to the extreme. The creator of Home of the Bohemian Opera certainly is one of these. He has created a data base of operas and other classical music that were used in part within major motion pictures. Almost everyone knows the William Tell Overture was used as the Lone Ranger theme both on radio, television and in the movies. Remember the theme (Ravel's Bolero) from "10," or Also Sprach Zarathustra (Ode to the Sun) by Richard Strauss used in 2001: A Space Odyssey? These and over 2,300 musical entries and nearly 1,100 movie titles are listed.
