I haven't heard of any of the others, but there are at least three Gyorgy
Ligeti compositions on the "2001: A Space Odyssey" soundtrack album.
I'm not into classical music at all, but I love them.  They're wonderfully
weird, and they went very well with some of the most effective scenes of the
movie.
