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.

Das Boot (1981)
a war movie directed by Wolfgang Petersen
A German U-boat with crew navigates the dangerous seas during World War 2.
the audio was in whisper-blast style. the video was decent.
check out: the fact that the entire crew starts the movie completely drunk.
This was 3 hours long! At the 2 hour mark, I was very tired of it and thought "this has to end soon", but no. There was still an hour left. I'm shooting this one down just like ye grande olde Schindler's List. You've seen one submarine movie, you've seen them all: sub up, sub down, they encounter something, there are equipment problems, they fix it, end of movie. Yet every "best movies" site I read has this on the list. Das Boot is not worth the 3 hours it takes to watch it. I would strongly advise you stay away from this film.
