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.

Magnolia (1999)
A drama by Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Tom Cruise.
3 intersecting plot lines are shown including a dying man, a pickup artist and a child on a quiz show.
This film was a little disjointed in the plot. The 3 stories flipped back and forth willy-nilly as they progressed. The characters were decent, but the pacing was strange. The overall production value was really good. I'm rating this adequate because it was strange enough, but not really. Watch it for details.
