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.

Risky Business (1983)
A comedy drama by Paul Brickman, starring Tom Cruise.
A high school boy's parents go away on a long trip and he follow a friend's advice to call a hooker. When he can't pay the girl, she steals a crystal egg from the house and he has to track her down, getting involved with her pimp and all her whore friends.
This plot type may have not been so stale in the early '80s, but it is now. The characters were pretty good and the pacing was great. I'm rating it adequate.
