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.

Phantom of the Paradise (1974)
A musical by Brian De Palma.
A composer is mistreated by music executives and is badly disfigured. He is then hired by the same men who mistreated him to finish his composition so that they can present it. They screw him over again and he again tries to take his revenge.
This was way short (92 minutes) or seemed to be so. The music was alright, but the plot was a little cheesy. The characters were definitely cheesy and the style was no good. From what I read on Shitkipedia, this was supposed to be really cool, but failed to deliver on that sketchy promise. I'm rating it bad for disappointing me. I shouldn't be surprised though, considering the source of this information.
