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.

Lady Snowblood (1973)
A samurai film directed by Toshiya Fujita.
A child is born to a woman who was raped and whose husband was killed by a gang. The daughter takes on her mother's quest for revenge.
This is the film that Kill Bill was based on. The style is similar to Shogun Assassin, so if you like the red spray paint style of bloodletting, you'll like this. There is some wire-work involved, but not too much. I'm rating it good and trying to find the theme song.
