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.

Eyes Wide Shut (1999)
A mystery directed by Stanley Kubrick, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.
A doctor meets an old friend who lets him in on a secret to get into a club. He goes to the club and sees sex taking place everywhere, but is extremely unwelcome there. Afer he leaves, he tries to figure out what was going on and his attempts are met harshly by club members.
This film is very sexual in nature. It starts with a naked woman and ends in the word "fuck". As far as female breasts go, this is not too shabby. I didn't see the extra large variety that I prefer, but they were all shapely and there were no "mosquito bites". Real truth dudes always cite this as an example of secret societies, which it is... a little bit. There is a musical section when the man enters the club that sounds like it was backwards masked. I recorded it and reversed it, only to find that I couldn't understand what they were singing either way. In reverse it sounds like Jewish religious singing. I'm rating this good for being interesting and because Stanley Kubrick is awesome.
