4. 'La Marseillaise' (French national anthem), 'Greensleeves', 'In the Mood' and Bach's 'Brandenburg concertos'.(or Bach's 2 part invention no 8 in F. It is not quite clear)

"All You Need Is Love" is a song written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was first performed by The Beatles on Our World, the first live global television link. Broadcast to 26 countries and watched by 400 million, the programme was broadcast via satellite on June 25, 1967. The BBC had commissioned the Beatles to write a song for the UK's contribution. Rolling Stone magazine ranked it at #362 in their 500 greatest songs of all time. Because of the worldwide broadcast, the song was given an international feel, opening with the French anthem "La Marseillaise", and including excerpts of other pieces during the long fade-out, including "2-part Invention #8 in F" by Johann Sebastian Bach (transposed to G and played on 2 piccolo trumpets), "Greensleeves", Glenn Miller's "In the Mood", one of the Beatles' seminal hits, "She Loves You" and Jeremiah Clarke's "Prince of Denmark's March" lilting off at the end. Many sources, including Beatles' producer George Martin, have misremembered or misidentified the Bach quote as being from the "Brandenburg Concerto No. 2". Lennon can also be heard scatting what sounds like the title of "Yesterday", though others maintain he is saying "Yes, you can."

5. Anthony Hopkins in 'The Silence of the Lambs' An anthropophage or anthropophagus (Greek: anthrōpophagos, "man-eater") was the name given to early Christians by others. This usage appears in Tertullian, in his Apologeticus (ch. VII), and Salvian (de Provid. Lib. IV). They claimed that Christians killed and feasted on a child's flesh, a notion grounded on descriptions of the Eucharist. Greek had a strong influence on English during the Renaissance. The word first appears in English around 1552. The most famous early usage appears in William Shakespeare's Othello, c. 1603: "the Cannibals that each other eat, / The Anthropophagi."

10. The angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) Islam holds that the Qur?an was revealed to Muhammad by the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) from 610 CE to his death in 632 CE. Followers of Islam further believe that the Qur?an was written down by Muhammad's companions while he was alive, although the prime method of transmission was oral. It is maintained that in 633 CE, the written text was compiled, and in 653 CE it was standardized, distributed in the Islamic empire and produced in large numbers. The present form of the Qur?an is regarded as God's revelation to Muhammad by Muslim believers. Academic scholars often consider it the original version authored or dictated by Muhammad. Muslim tradition agrees that it was fixed in writing shortly after Muhammad's death by order of Umar and Abu Bakr
