In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Alice in the Cities (1974)
A drama by Wim Wenders.
A man meets a woman and her daughter at an airport because they both want to go to the same place. They share a hotel room and the man takes the daughter sight-seeing in the morning. While they are gone, the mother leaves and the man is stuck with the little girl.
This film was all in black and white and the soundtrack was very limited. The style of the film is what is really cool. The pacing was good too. I'm rating it good for that "undefinable something" that makes movies great.
