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.

Brokeback Mountain (2005)
A romance directed by Ang Lee, starring Heath Ledger.
2 cowboys are hired to guard a flock of sheep on a mountain and begin a homosexual relationship. They part ways after the job is done and marry women, but see each other once in a while for camping/booty calls.
When I heard about a "gay cowboy movie", I thought that the men developed a close emotional relationship, not a butt-sex relationship, but in the first half hour a sex scene happened. For a film lasting over 2 hours, there wasn't much character development and the plot didn't do much for me. The setting was great with forests and mountains, but the soundtrack was very limited. I'm rating it o.k. because it wasn't too bad.
