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 Outsiders (1983)
A drama directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
In a perpetual gang war, a young "greaser" kills a "soc" and hides in the country with his friend. They go out to lunch one day and come back to find their hideout full of children and on fire.
The audio was good quality, but had shitty Stevie Wonder music. The video was good with a touch of "300" skies.
check out: The homosexual overtones.
This film showcases the tender side of gang life. In the beginning, the 2 boys fall asleep leaning on each other, then there's the "300" skies scene and the whole concept of one reading "Gone with the Wind" to the other. I have nothing against homosexuality, but I do have something against subliminal messages and predictive programming. Go ahead and make a gay movie, just don't try to sell it as straight.
