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 Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923)
An American drama directed by Wallace Worsley, starring Lon Chaney.
An aristocrat falls in love with a commoner and the classes of society clash over this. Meanwhile, a mutant is hanging around a cathedral.
That's all of the plot that I could convey without spoiling it. The film is just so old that it is boring to my modern senses. I turned it off at about the hour mark because I didn't feel like watching another hour of black and white film with text screens. Normally, I rate shit for a turn-off, but this wasn't shitty, just boring. I rate it bad.
