Mendelssohn 4th ("Italian") -- Music from the movie "Breaking Away". Uplifting stuff.
Howard Hanson 2nd ("Romantic") -- wonderful 20th Century piece but very accessible. You'll hear where John Williams got a LOT of his Star Wars music inspiration from. Also, the end of the first mvt. is known as the "Interlochen theme" and is a traditional piece played there.
Beethoven 6th ("Pastoral")--- close to the heart of the master. If you love being out in the great outdoors, this one is special.
