Flagrantly ignoring the "not actually using truly period music" line, I'd suggest the climax of the Russian Easter overture by Rimsky-Korsakov. It aggressive, and sounds ominous (as traditional bell choirs usually do), and it's from the late Romantic, i.e., stuff that *ought* to be movie music even if I can't cite you a particular instance.
