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.

Starship Troopers (1997)
A science fiction directed by Paul Verhoeven.
In an Orwellian future, the human race is at war with a race of alien insects. A young group of recruits battles the alien threat alongside their army buddies.
This was cool and unique. The portrayal of the futuristic society was too accurate to laugh at, but I still found it funny. The television scenes were absolute gut-busters! The combat scenes were action-packed and the large numbers of grotesque CG insects on-screen was amazing. There was a love-triangle sub-plot, but it didn't get in the way of humor and absurd action. I'm rating this awesome. Don't watch the sequels, though. They're a big load of horse crap.
