I would agree that most readily recognizable composers are doing movies, etc. ala John Williams. Any thing else in classical you're going to have to REALLY search for. One of my favorites is Steve Reich - "Music for 18 Musicians". Make sure you have a pillow handy for this album. I saw Stonybrook Percussion perform this and it was absolutely enthralling, in a hypnotism sort of way. It's mostly based off of manipulation of simple patterns (1,2,3 - 1,2 - 1 -1,2) in a repetitious and building way. Very cool. Most neo-classical stuff that isn't used for mainstream media like movies and such, will probably be pretty out there stuff (Philip Glass, Bela Bartok, Samuel Barber).
