I don't have a picture or clip to post, but I caught a few minutes of "The Dogs of War" where Cristopher Walken was using a black Nikon that looked like it could have been an FM. Released around 1980.

Not a movie, but a book cover, paperback, Eric Ambler "Epitaph for a Spy". The camera is a Contax II with a very large lens, Olympic Sonnar large, auxiliary vf. The edition is a Vintage Crime March 2002 by Random House.
Worth cracking one open to see what type of Nicad cells are inside to see if you can get replacements to re-celled it? The World has gone Nimh for rechargeable batteries & the only place I could find the Nicads for one of my MN-2 packs was from an ebay seller in China. One day I might find the time to get my soldering iron out & do it.
The other thing interesting at that photo is the camera. The L-family models in the first two generation or first ten years had only a hot-shoe. From then on a PC-socket was added, down at the left side of the mirrorbox apron. The sample shown though got a PC-socket at the front of the top cap, at the left where the screw is.

One of my favorite authors. I remember this book. I should pick it up again.
My Praktica LTL3 viewfinder looks nothing like the one shown. Ground glass center circle and larger light circle around it. Metering on right with a physical needle and hollow black circle. Some type of indicator center left. I do not have working batteries in it, so not sure how it might look with power.

Other than the meter needle moving, it would look the same as it does without batteries. As I recall, the indicator on the left tells you whether the shutter is cocked (it should disappear when you advance the wind lever and reappear when you press the shutter release).

1975's Friday Foster is camera laden.
Of special note is the rare Bronica D and what appears to be a black Spotmatic at the 10-second mark in this clip:

I was re-watching Predestination when suddenly a wild Beau Brownie appeared.
Argus C3 - Captain Sky & The World of Tomorrow.
The story is about Polly Perkins (Gwyneth Paltrow) who is facing a terrible choice, she has only 2 exposures left and is encountering dozens of subjects which could give her eternal fame. Polly Can’t stop thinking about the next scene, and so, during her adventures, she discards flying fortresses (literally), giant robots, the mythical city of Shambhala, dinosaurs and a space rocket/Noahh ark 2.0. While running for her life, she tripped the shutter, wasting a precious shot on the ground (a classic), and when finally she decides to fire her last exposure, she forgot to remove the cap thus hammering the last nail in her dreams of glory. Don’t be like Poly, think about the scene before your eyes and always bring an extra roll.

I have a feeling i am in the minority, but i thought it was very good.
I realize that Computer Generated entertainment is nothing new at this point.....but i thought they used it in a rather clever manner. The acting was very good and so was the plot.
The idea of using Digital Electronics to delve into the realm of Pre-WW2 Buck Rogers worked nicely.
Just good entertainment...IMHO.
