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.

Un Chien Andalou (1929)
An art film by Luis Bunuel and Salvador Dali.
The plot is a bit murky with surrealist and dada symbolism.
I like weird movies, so this is a real treat. From the ants coming out of a man's hand to the guy dragging the ten commandments, 2 rabbis and 2 dead donkeys on 2 grand pianos, they spared no shock value. If Holy Mountain was too tame and Chronopolis was too coherent, then you must watch this. It will rock your fucking world and you will have no clue why. I'm rating it awesome because Holy Mountain actually is better, but for it's time, nothing beats it.
