Like the way that I finally realised that Don Davis's original Matrix soundtrack, which I must have heard a zillion times, sounds totally like the first part of John Adams's Harmonielehre, which I've also probably listened to like a gazillion times. I guess I must just have been way too distracted by all those slow-mo bullets to notice til now...
