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.

No Such Thing (2001)
A fantasy drama by Hal Hartley.
A young woman befriends an alcoholic monster and makes him known through the media. He is looking for a certain scientist to end his life. The scientist is found, but the media gets in the way, wanting to exploit the monster.
The plot and characters were great. I wish that I could watch this for the first time every time. The style and production value were decent and the pace was good. The monster was my favorite character because he was so snarky. I'm rating this awesome because I liked watching it so much.
