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 Kid (1921)
A comedy drama by Charlie Chaplin.
A woman leaves her baby in a car which is stolen. The robbers ditch the baby in an alley and when a poor man picks it up, nobody will let him put the child down. He ends up raising the kid until the orphan asylum comes to steal the child from him.
This is black and white and silent. I thought the plot was boring and the characters were not developed. I just didn't like it, so I'm giving it a bad rating.
