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.

Sherlock, Jr. (1924)
An American comedy by Buster Keaton.
The projectionist at a movie theater is trying to be a detective.
This was another silent film full of physical humor. In one scene, the main character walks into the movie screen and interacts with the film that is being projected. In another, he is riding on the handlebars of a police motorcycle when the policeman falls off and the motorcycle keeps going with the main character perched on the front. The motorcycle rides through some dangerous areas and has a few close calls with disaster. I'm rating this adequate.
