What was the title of the Bach composition used as the theme 1975 movie Rollerball?

That's the "Toccata & Fugue" in D minor (BWV 565). It's an organ work presumably composed by Bach in his youth (before 1710). It has some uncharacteristic features that made some scholars think it maybe was not composed by Bach, but now he is believed to have it composed for the violin, and then it passed to the organ.It's probably the best known of all Bach organ works -featuring in many movies as the "evil tune"- which is curious since it is quite untypical of the Bach style.

Who was Anna Magalena?

Anna Magdalena Bach (1701-1760) was the second wife of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), who some argue was the greatest composer who ever lived. They were married in 1721 and had 13 children, among whom Johann Christian (the "London Bach") became one of the foremost Classical composers. She was a professional singer (which is how Bach may first have noticed her), copied (and possibly even composed) some of her husband's works, and was the dedicatee of his two Notebooks for Anna Magdalena Bach, which are collections of pieces including between them most of the French Suites for harpsichord (from the 1722 book) and several of the keyboard partitas, the Minuet in G major (actually by Christian Petzold) that most young pianists will have come across, the first Prelude from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier and the keyboard aria that constitutes the subject of the Goldberg Variations (from the 1725 book). She died in poverty; none of her sons and stepsons seem to have helped her out financially after Bach's death.
