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.

Paper Moon (1973)
A comedy directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
A scam man picks up a young girl whose mother has just died. He promises to bring her to her aunt in another town. Along the way, the girl helps the man with his scams.
This was a treat. Everything was so cool, even though it was all in black and white. The man and the girl pull so many tricky maneuvers to con people out of their money and they have so many narrow escapes. I have to rate this best. Watch it!
