Afraid to Talk (1932)
Corrupt politicians resort to murder and blackmail when a young boy accidentally witnesses them taking payoffs.
Lively, fast-paced drama that relentlessly decries political corruption, a message still valid to this day.
Maltin***: "Eye-opening pre-Code melodrama...Sparks fly in this unsubtle shocker..."

Something Evil (1972)
A young couple moves into a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania, but they don't know that there is an unseen presence in the house, and that it wants to take possession of the wife.
Above-average TV horror thriller, effectively staged with a good central performance by Sandy Dennis.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
A group of intergalactic criminals are forced to work together to stop a fanatical warrior from taking control of the universe.
Basically another sci-fi actioner with a motley crew of superheroes and good effects, but made more likable by adding some humor; however, the raccoon steals the show.
