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.

True Grit (1969)
An American western directed by Henry Hathaway, starring John Wayne and Dennis Hopper.
A young woman's father is killed and she goes to a gunslinger to extract revenge.
The plot and characters were good. The female lead set it apart from other films of this genre. It was a standard issue western, if that does ya fine. The style and production value reflected this. I rate good, regular westerns good because I like them, hence this rating, Say thankee! (some Dark Tower slang is inevitable with westerns now)
