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.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
A comedy directed by Amy Heckerling, starring Sean Penn.
Students at a high school work part-time jobs, have sex and get stoned.
Ah, more classic '80s cheese. I possibly can't get enough of it. This film is very dated and shows typical teenagers doing what typical teenagers do best. The characters are very good and the style works very well. The convoluted plot was necessary to show all of the aspects of teenage life. It comes from the same year that Iron Maiden released Number of the Beast and Slayer released their only good album, Show No Mercy. I'm rating this good for being an '80s classic.
