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 Quick and the Dead (1995)
A western directed by Sam Raimi, starring Sharon Stone, Gene Hackman, Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio.
A female gunfighter goes to a town where a gun tournament is held. She enters the tournament, along with a priest, a father and his son. She makes friends with the priest while there.
This fits the description of a good film. The characters, plot, setting, style and pace were all good. The production value was good as well. It had the action style of many short camera shots strung together and there was a gunshot near the end that did something that I've never seen a gunshot do before. I can't help but rate it good.
