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 Boat (1921)
An American comedy by Buster Keaton.
A man builds a boat indoors and wrecks the building when getting it out. He takes his family to an undefined body of water and together they launch and sail the boat.
The boat is called the Damfino and this is used as a running joke through the film, implying the phrase "damned if I know". I'm rating the film o.k. and this is the LAST Buster Keaton film I'm reviewing. I'm getting tired of them and it's preposterous to watch a 30 minute film and review it.
