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.

Delicatessen (1991)
A black comedy directed by Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
A ex-circus performer takes a job as a handy man at an apartment building over a butcher shop. The butcher always kills the handy men and feeds them to the tenants of the apartment building.
This is a french film, so there are subtitles. The style is really cool and the pacing is good. In the beginning, there is a timing sequence with synchronized movement and sound. The humor is weird, but almost funny. I'm rating this best.
