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.

A Knight's Tale (2001)
An American comedy adventure by Brian Helgeland, starring Heath Ledger.
A squire's knight dies and the squire stands in at a joust and wins. The 2 other squires help this one to become a fake knight.
Medieval jousts did NOT start with the audience clapping and singing "We Will Rock You" by Queen. That was during the opening credits and I should have turned it off there. War's "Low Rider" accompanied knight practice in the woods and I said "you get one more chance". At a big, knightly competition, the crowd started doing that "whoo whoo whoo" cheer and that was fucking it! I turned it off and now I rated it shit.
