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.

Logan's Run (1976)
A science fiction directed by Michael Anderson.
In a futuristic society, people over the age of 30 are put to death. One of the people who catches those who run from this fate escapes the society into the world outside. He brings a woman with him and when they meet an old man outside, they invite the people inside to go out.
This reminded me of 1984 and A Brave New World in some ways. I thought that the characters were only minimally developed and the plot was a little stale. I'm rating it o.k. for blending in with the crowd.
