The Blood of Jesus
Spencer Williams made this church-funded allegory for almost nothing in Texas. It was the first race film added to the National Film Registry.
Housewife Martha dies after her husband Razz's shotgun inadvertently discharges. The congregation gathers at her bedside to pray for her recovery, and during this period, an angel arrives to take Martha's spirit from her body, but she is tempted by the slick Judas Green, an agent for Satan.
