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 Duellists (1977)
A drama directed by Ridley Scott, starring Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine.
In the early 1800s, 2 french soldiers begin a duel. Every time they fight, one of them gets injured and the duel is postponed.
Most of this film was what I would call "extra stuff". The men spend most of their time living their lives and not fighting eachother. That being said, the plot was murky and there were far too many characters. The style and production value were great; so good that it looked at least '80s or '90s. I'm rating this adequate.
