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.

Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter, Jr. (1999)
A documentary produced and directed by Errol Morris.
Fred Leuchter was a engineer who was redesigning execution equipment in America. He was asked by revisionists to go to Germany and determine whether gas executions had been performed. He brought back negative results.
The audio and video were good.
check out: 6 packs of cigarettes and 40 cups of coffee a day?
This was a very well presented documentary. All sides of the story were sufficiently represented and the man in question was allowed to present his opinions. I'm rating it good because of how it was made and for controversial subject matter, not because of any belief or disbelief of the opinions presented.
