The song from the OP? You mean Sky High?
It's a direct (and awful, IMHO) rip from Sergei Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto no. 2, Op. 18. The tune they're using appears in both Movement 2: Adagio Sostenuto and Movement 3: Allegro Scherzando. It HAS been used in some classic Hollywood flicks like The Seven Year Itch, so maybe you're not far off there.
