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.

Harry and Tonto (1974)
A drama by Paul Mazursky, starring Art Carney.
An old man is kicked out of his apartment because the building is being torn down. He goes to live with his son, but doesn't like it there. He arranges a visit with his daughter in Chicago, but has trouble getting there.
The plot and characters were pretty cool. I usually tend to like films about travel anyway. The style was right for the film and the production value wasn't bad. At almost 2 hours, the pace was good and they fit lots of sub-plots into that time. I'm rating this good just because I liked it.
