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.

Ziegfeld Girl (1941)
A musical directed by Robert Z. Leonard, starring Judy Garland.
New showgirls are recruited by a famous Broadway show and have problems when their whole lives change because of the show.
The music was less than good, but Judy Garland (hot as ever) gave a great performance. One of the other girls who I'm nicknaming "tank girl" likes alcohol a little too much and serves as comic relief. She stumbles, falls and passes out on queue. I'm rating it poor because Judy didn't succeed in transmuting the silver screen to mercury on this one.
