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.

Death at a Funeral (2007)
A comedy directed by Frank Oz.
A family gathers to mourn the loss of their patriarch, but there are many distractions.
It's so rare for me to find a comedy funny, but this one actually is. It didn't start off well, but as soon as it was revealed that one of the characters had unknowingly taken strong drugs, things just got better from that point. The standard "stupid American" bathroom and sex jokes were avoided thankfully. I'm rating this adequate.
