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.

American History X (1998)
A drama directed by Tony Kaye, starring Edward Furlong.
A young man's racist father is killed by a black man and the son starts an neo-nazi gang. The younger brother idolizes his older sibling even after he kills 2 men and goes to jail. While in jail, the older brother changes his opinion on some matters and when he gets out, he is dismayed to find that his younger brother still holds the same view on these issues.
This movie is absolutely epic. Some of it is told in flash-backs which are in black and white, while the present is in color. This movie includes Fairuza Balk as Derek's girlfriend, who I think is hot partially because she looks like my first girlfriend. The plot and characters are the main attraction here and the awesome style is just there to back them up. I'm rating this awesome.
