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 Adventurer (1917)
A comedy by Charlie Chaplin.
An escaped convict runs from law enforcement and saves some people from drowning. They invite him to their house where they are having a "fancy party".
This film was very direct and uncluttered, being only 31 minutes long. The most common action was a swift kick in the arse. Mr. Chaplin's physical comedy was very similar to the later Looney Toons style and used many of the same gags. I'm rating it good because it kicks ass!
