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.

El Topo (1970)
A western by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
This film follows 2 sections of a man's life. This man is impervious to bullets. In the first section, he travels through the desert to kill 4 master gun fighters. In the second section, he is adopted by cripples in a cave and has to dig a tunnel to get them out.
The audio was in Spanish and subtitles were provided. The video was a little grainy, but what do you expect for 1970?
check out: the gun fighter who plays with delicate shapes and "my body feels pain, not I".
This is good. It's by Jodorowsky, so it couldn't be bad. However, it's not as good as "The Holy Mountain". This film is probably only for real film fanatics and Jodorowsky lovers.
