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.

Soylent Green (1973)
A science fiction directed by Richard Fleischer.
A cop in a futuristic society lives with an older man and robs rich people's houses when business brings him there. When the old guy dies, he tells the cop to go to the exchange. When the cop goes, he finds out what the main food source is.
This is one of the films that people who talk about the way the world works mention often. The riot scene with the scoop trucks is pretty brutal. I didn't like the main character, but it almost seemed like that was the way he was designed. I'm rating it o.k.
