The Cat Concerto (1947)
Jerry is determined to disrupt Tom's concert while Tom fights him with the piano without missing a single note.
Tom & Jerry episode is an animated masterpiece marrying music and motion - and humour; modern-day music clip directors should learn something here.

The Shadow Dancer (2005)
An aspiring young writer tracks a literary titan suffering from writers block to his refuge in rural Italy and learns about life and love from the irascible genius and his daughters.
If you like your clichés wholesale, this is the movie for you; otherwise, it's actually well made, and the cast make it mildly entertaining.
The Founder (2016)
The story of Ray Kroc, a salesman who turned two brothers' innovative fast food eatery, McDonald's, into one of the biggest restaurant businesses in the world.
Intriguing and ultimately sad tale of greed vs. quality and integrity that exemplifies the making of an American corporation, although the movie ostensibly omits any social and political issues of the topic; Michael Keaton is perfect as the shallow and heartless door-to-door salesman that becomes a brutal corporate magnate.
