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.

Eraserhead (1977)
An art film by David Lynch.
A factory worker impregnates a woman. When the baby comes out, it is a monster. The woman leaves the man to look after their monster child.
This film is strange and disgusting. It is difficult to watch, even for hardcore film nuts like myself. I'm rating it adequate because it's strange but repellant.
