While you clearly state that this is only your opinion (and I respect that) can you elaborate further ? WHY can't "movie music" also be "classical music" ?It seems to me that classical music has almost always had a programmatic aspect to it. It may not always be created with actual visuals (dance, opera, movie, etc...) in mind but I do think that classical music often inspires visuals in the imaginations of listeners even when actual visuals are not immediately apparent. Hence the visually descriptive names so often given to classical music scores ("Moonlight Sonata", etc...).
Supposedly, Wagner believed that classical music was basically incomplete without accompanying visuals. So he exclusively wrote "opera music" with associated visuals in mind. But one can still (or so I imagine) listen to Wagner's "opera music" without an opera in front of you and still enjoy it as music alone, as long as the music suits you.
I think that "classical music" is actually a kind of "many-splendored thing", don't you ?
