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.

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
A crime film by Stanley Kubrick, starring Malcolm McDowell.
A young hell raiser gets caught after killing a woman and is put in jail. After 2 years there, he is given an experimental treatment to give him an aversion to violence and sex. Upon release, he is unable to defend himself from people who wish him harm for his past.
Let's talk about good movies! This is one of my favorites, as the plot make 180 degree turns at a few points and the main character does the same. It seems fitting that he would end up in gratuitous sex scenes with debauchkas a few years later. The style is classic Kubrick (flawless) and the production value looks '80s, regardless of the '70s settings and clothing. I can't help but rate this best and if you haven't seen it, do so quickly or I'll smash you in the yar-blockos.
