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.

Serpico (1973)
A crime film directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Al Pacino.
An honest police officer refuses to take part in the corrupt activities of his fellow cops. He is ostracized and tries to get an investigation into the corruption started.
Al Pacino is cool. There's no doubt about it. The plot and characters were good and the style and production value looked like a newer film than 1973. It's a longer film, at just over 2 hours, but well worth it. I'm rating this awesome. By the way, I'm not going soft here. I just got this bunch of good movies and have give them these great ratings.
