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.

Jason and the Argonauts (2000)
A fantasy directed by Nick Willing, starring Dennis Hopper.
A palace is raided by an invading army and the prince is smuggled away by a soldier. He grows up to find out about his homeland and returns there to find his mother. An evil king has taken over and sends him on a quest to find the golden fleece. The prince recruits an unlikely group of adventurers to help him on his quest.
This is one of the last good TV movies. The style is good and there are not so many special effects that they cease to be special. The plot is as old as time and the modern actors play their characters' roles well. I'm rating it good.
