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.

The Trip (1967)
An adventure directed by Roger Corman, written by Jack Nicholson, starring Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper.
A man takes LSD at a friend's house. When he thinks he sees the friend dead, he flees and wanders around the city.
This is one of the better drug films that I've seen, as it doesn't fall into the category of "stoned idiot comedy". It also avoids the "cocaine gangster" genre. The visual effects are pretty impressive for the '60s, but still have the style of the times. I'm rating this awesome and the only reason I don't rate it best is that I'm not the main character.
