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.

Charade (1963)
An American black comedy mystery by Stanley Donen, starring Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.
A woman's husband dies and she finds out that he was one of a group of men looking for a large sum of stolen money. These men initially harass her, but eventually they honestly work together to try to find the money. The other men are gradually killed off by an unknown attacker to keep them from getting the money.
This is a very strange movie. The sense of humor seemed like it was from another planet. Being a mystery, nobody's telling the truth and you have to watch the whole thing to figure out what's really going on. It gets points for being weird, but that still only earns an o.k. rating.
