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.

Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo (2006)
A music mockumentary by Les Claypool.
A fictional band records an album and plays at an outdoor festival. A few musicians from other groups are interviewed about the fictional band.
This is supposed to be a spin-off of This is Spinal Tap and it's one of the few movies that Wikipedia does not list a release date for. It is also a National Lampoon film. I thought it was moderately funny and relatively accurate to how a band functions and dysfunctions together. I'm rating it adequate because, as it's about an alternative rock/jam band, it is mediocre by design.
