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.

Mad Max series (1979, 1981 & 1985)
An adventure directed by George Miller, starring Mel Gibson.
A lone man travels across a post-apocalyptic landscape battling gangs with stylized costumes and vehicles.
Mad Max is the first film, Road Warrior the second and Beyond Thunderdome is the third. I actually managed to watch all 3 films consecutively in one day, which is a mark of quality. Mel Gibson's character changes through the films quite well, as he was young when the first one was made and not so young in the others. The style is so cheesy it hurts, but the pacing is nice. I'm rating this adequate because I didn't really like the style, but everything else works great.
