"Highway to Hell" from AC/DC is a popular choice these days, but I'd settle for one of the "Four Last Songs" from Strauss, a few bits from the Mozart "Requiem or "Goin' Back" from Dusty Springfield.

Perhaps Khachaturian: Gayane's Adagio would tie in my love of classical with my love of science fiction and great film.

I dunno, maybe the slow movement of Rubbra's 6th symphony? But played really slowly cuz I like it when it's played really slowly which is odd because I've never heard it played really slowly but whatever.

Nothing. Because music isn't needed for every occasion.

I don't really care what they play - I'm not going to be around to hear it.

Unless they play country. Then I might just have to come back & haunt them.
