According to "English Grammar in Use" written by Raymond Murphy, we should say, "I've seen some good films recently," and not "I've seen good films...."
I've heard that native speakers usually say, "I've bought some melons," and not "I've bought melons" unless the person wants to emphasize that they were melons and not apples or other fruit.
"I sent different books to Tom and Bill."
Is this sentence without "some" before "different books" acceptable because "different" is emphasized?
