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.

Black Moon (1975)
A fantasy directed by Louis Malle.
A girl escapes from a war in a small car and finds her way to a very strange country estate.
This movie is weird and cool. Half the characters don't talk, but plants and animals do talk. There is a crowd of naked children and they make their way through the estate, usually showing up unexpectedly. An elusive unicorn is chased and there is a crazy old woman with a ham radio in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Plot was not a very large part of this film. Things seem to happen for no reason and with no regard for time. I'm rating it adequate because it's just weird enough to be cool.
