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.

Yojimbo (1961)
An action film directed by Akira Kurosawa.
A samurai stumbles upon a town ruled by 2 gangs and decides to get involved in the conflict.
The audio was in Japanese and subtitles were included. The video was in black and white.
check out: The amount of sake in this little town. No wonder the old man let the hero drink for free!
If this film was set in America, it would be called a western. I guess it must be an eastern. I think I'm starting to like these old samurai flicks. If you're not brainwashed into English language color full screen movies, you should probably watch this. But then, if you like new Hollywood bullshit, you probably aren't reading this.
