The Browning 1917 .30 caliber machine gun is the immediate predecessor of the Browning M1919. This weapon saw heavy use from the opening days of World War I and World War II as well as both the Korean and Vietnam wars due in large part to its reliability and usefulness in the sustained fire role (made possible by the water cooling jacket surrounding the barrel).
The Browning M1917 machine gun can be seen in the following films used by the following actors:

Kulspruta M/1936
The Swedish adopted a version of the M1917 under the name "Kulspruta M/1936". The M/1936 was converted into the (then) standard 6.55mm, but the anti-aircraft version used the 8×63mm Bofors (ptr m/32). In the 1970s the remaining M/1936 were converted to the 7.62×51 mm NATO.
