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 Osterman Weekend (1983)
A thriller directed by Sam Peckinpah, starring Dennis Hopper.
One man's wife is killed by spies and he sets up surveillance at a weekend party that other possible spies are holding.
As with any film about spies, the plot was complex because you couldn't tell who was lying to whom. The characters were good, but the style was lacking because of when it was made. The picture is from the cover art. It was just too cool not to use. I'm rating this o.k.
