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.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
A science fiction drama directed by Michel Gondry, starring Jim Carrey, Kate Winslet, Kirsten Dunst and Elijah Wood.
A couple have their memories of each other erased and then meet again.
This film starts at the end and ends where it started. It's so appropriate that the characters reunite in Montauk, because that is where the government has been centering their trauma based mind control experiments for quite some time. The plot was good, but I didn't like the characters and I thought they were under-developed, despite the fact that their whole past together was shown. The style was kind of cool as it skipped around while the guys messed with Jim Carrey's brain. I'm rating this o.k. for a balance of good and bad things.
