I think that the tuba part from "Jaws" and 'the ride' are probably somewhere on the top of the list....

Break strain in Stars and Stripes Forever
opening bar of Holst's Second Suite
opening phrase of Holst's First Suite
Dies Irae from Symphonie Fantastique
the end of 1812 Overture
the low brass strains from Barnum and Bailey's Favorite and Thunder and Blazes

Just off the top of my head...
