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.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000)
A wuxia directed by Ang Lee, starring Zhang Ziyi.
A lot of flying fights happen regarding a stolen sword and an outlaw ex-boyfriend. It's complicated.
Besides sounding like a really cool sexual maneuver, this is one of my favorite wuxia films. I just can't get enough flying sword fights. As I said, the plot is too complex to explain here, but the style is absolutely breathtaking. I'm rating this awesome.
