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.

Sling Blade (1996)
A crime drama by Billy Bob Thornton.
A man who had killed his mother and the man who was raping her gets out of a mental institution. He makes friends with a boy and his mother after getting a job at a lawnmower repair shop. The boy's mother has an abusive boyfriend.
The plot and characters were great. The style and production value really fit the film well. I was also surprised to discover that it was all Billy Bob Thornton. The main character's speech was a large part of the film "I reckon I'd like some of them french fried taters, mmhmm.". It's a great movie and should definitely be watched if you haven't seen it. I rate it awesome.
