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.

Casablanca (1942)
A drama directed by Michael Curtiz.
Rick owns a bar where illegal "letters of transit" can be found amidst a sea of gambling, smoking and booze. His ex-girlfriend shows up with a man wanted by the Germans. Rick is then forced to make a tough decision.
The video was in black and white. The audio was good quality, but there were no subtitles for the foreign language sections.
check out: The Casablanca references in the "Quest for Glory" games for PC. They suddenly make sense.
This wasn't too bad. The characters and plot are good, but if I hear one more reference to Germans, concentration camps and WW2, I don't know what I'll do. It's an old movie either for old people or for people who have to see every movie (like me). I'll go with a vote of o.k.
