Super old Hong Kong kung fu classic: Buddha’s Palm
These two (out of a series of four) are from around 1964, many years before Bruce Lee came onto the scene to show the world how it’s done.
By modern standards, these are poorly produced movies — simplistic script/plot, mediocre acting/direction, bad animal costumes, worse than cartoonish “special effects”, forget about period authenticity ... they are really, really bad.
Nonetheless this series of movies brought a lot of foundational kung fu mythologies to the silver screen, their many elements are widely derived, referenced, or otherwise paid homage by later kung fu movies, novels, and graphic novels.

Light hearted rom-com. It’s got pianos in it, a Baldwin features prominently, and brief shots of Mason & Hamlin mentioned by name with one wide shot showing the Faust Harrison piano store front briefly.

@george-k What is interesting about the sound there?
on a kind of related topic, I "bookmark" this site a long time ago. Thought it was interesting.
Thousands and thousands of sound effects and recordings.
For example
"Greylag Goose (Anser Anser) - close-up flight calls & wingbeats from a small group flying past"But, if you need another of a Greylag Goose, there is also
"Greylag Goose (Anser Anser) - close-up adult threat, cackling & hissing. "And on and on. LOL

When I watched “Soul,” I was very impressed at how realistic and how precisely the pianist’s hands were animated and fit to music. I wish the video talks even more about that, but it’s a good start:
