- Movietone — Films made in the "Movietone era" - roughly 1927 through 1933 - are sometimes presented with live musical accompaniment, though they may include recorded sound original to the film. These soundtracks sometimes include only music or music and sound effects (without dialogue) that would have been heard by the films' original audiences at early sound-equipped theaters. These are distinct from "true" silent films with soundtracks that were added later, and also distinct from "talkies" with full dialogue.
