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.

Angels With Dirty Faces (1938)
A crime film directed by Michael Curtiz.
Rocky, a gangster grows up in the prison system and when he gets out as an adult, he takes chances and gets caught again.
I watched this because I thought it was the gangster film shown in Home Alone, but it turns out that movie is fictional. This was good even though it didn't have that memorable scene in the office with the extended machine gun salvo. It's a classic gangster movie, so I'm rating it good.
