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.

The Music Lovers (1970)
A musical biography directed by Ken Russell.
The life of classical composer, Tchaikovsky is shown in flashbacks and nightmares.
The production value of this film was extremely low. There were places where a shot switch was obvious. Characters would skip words and the video would skip to having them in different positions. In one super obvious example, an actor is explaining something while picking up a glass. When the shot switches, he hasn't finished his word and he's drinking from the glass that was only an inch from the table less than a millisecond before. The plot was actually good and full of human suffering. Most of the main characters go completely insane by the end of the film, but most of them started out crazy anyway. I'm rating this o.k.
