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.

The Fifth Element (1997)
A science fiction directed by Luc Besson, starring Bruce Willis and Chris Tucker.
A cab driver catches a "supreme being" that the government has regenerated when she falls into his cab. He delivers her to a priest and them wins a rigged contest for a vacation. The military people show up at his apartment and order him to go on the vacation as a mission then the priest and alien show up and order him to go. He goes on the vacation because 4 magic stones that will save the earth are at the destination.
Being a newer film with over the top production value and Bruce Willis, I should automatically hate this, but I actually enjoy watching it. The style is really good. There are many scenes that cut back and forth between action happening in 2 different locations that are timed perfectly to fit together. I'm rating this good for entertainment value.
