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.

Lady Sings the Blues (1972)
A music biography directed by Sidney J. Furie, starring Diana Ross and Richard Pryor.
Billie Holiday becomes a famous jazz singer and has all the personal problems that come with fame.
I liked the plot and characters because the film dealt with stardom and narcotics addiction. The style was alright and it was long (over 2 hours). I'm rating this good.
