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.

Cool Hand Luke (1967)
A prison film directed by Stuart Rosenberg.
Luke is good at getting hit and eating eggs, but bad at staying out of prison.
The audio was good and the video was 60s style grainy, but good. The inclusion of "midnight special" in the soundtrack was awesome.
check out: the supplies for spending time in "the box". no toilet paper! no wonder when they let him out his shirt is so dirty.
I liked the chase scenes of Luke escaping and fooling his captors. The trick that the black boys help him set up is especially entertaining. I also liked the segment in which the new guys are read the rules and any failure to obey ends in box time. This film really held my attention, so I'm saying it's good.
