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 Ballad of Cable Hogue (1970)
A western directed by Sam Peckinpah.
A man is robbed in the desert and finds water where none is thought to be. He builds a "desert oasis" for travelers there and falls in love with a prostitute from a nearby town. His best friend is a priest who likes to drink and womanize.
This was great. I'm just going to list the things that were cool: characters, plot, setting, style, pace and soundtrack. Nothing was bad and everything was good. I have a real soft spot for gritty westerns, so I'm rating this best. I'm not being very descriptive because I want you to watch this and enjoy it as much as I did.
