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.

Lucas (1986)
a drama directed by David Seltzer, starring Corey Haim, Charlie Sheen and Winona Ryder.
A dorky kid is attracted to a new girl in town and they become friends. When school starts, the dork is picked on and the girl becomes the romantic interest of the captain of the football team who protects the dork from the other football players. The dork quits band and tries to play football with the expected results.
This was really sappy and quasi-romantic. The part that I found funny was the ending. The Professor Brothers describe it best in their video, Fliff Night: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp3wTXYoCCg . One brother is describing to the other how he felt when he was buying drinks for people at a party and it's EXACTLY what happens at the end of this film. Anyway, I'm rating this o.k. because it was totally predictable and mediocre.
