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 Seventh Seal (1957)
A Swedish drama by Ingmar Bergman.
A knight is playing a long game of chess with Death and between moves, he travels with a group of actors. Meanwhile, the black plague is ravaging the general population.
My parents told me to watch this. The film was in Swedish with English subtitles that moved pretty quick. The plot and characters were good and I liked the style. I can't say much about production value because in 1957 they didn't even have color video. I'm rating this adequate because it was quite alright.
