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.

Baby Doll (1956)
This is an update to the previous post.
I watched the whole movie and found it to be totally worthless.
A young woman is supposed to marry an unsuccessful man on her 20th birthday. She sleeps in a crib in his house and "Aunt Rose" also lives there. At night, the man burns down a competitor's cotton gin. The owner of the burnt gin shows up the next day and spends the day trying to seduce the woman. The unsuccessful man gets home at night and gets angry.
This is a film from the "most controversial films" list and I found it to be extremely tame. It's best to avoid this movie if at all possible.
