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.

Dragonslayer (1981)
A fantasy directed by Matthew Robbins.
A group from a village that is plagued by a dragon seek a sorcerer's help. When asked to prove his power, the sorcerer is killed. His apprentice takes on the task set by his master.
Early '80s cheese. I remember watching this film when I was very young and thinking that there should have been more dragon in it. I still feel that way, as the dragon has a small percentage of screen time. The plot and characters were alright and the style and pacing were o.k.. I'm rating this adequate because it's better than most of the shit out there now.
