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.

Dead Calm (1989)
A thriller directed by Phillip Noyce, based on the book by Charles Williams.
A husband and wife are out sailing when a man boards their ship from a dingy near another ship. When the husband goes to investigate the other ship, the stranger steals his ship and wife.
Who could resist action hero Dr. Grant locked inside a sinking ship? The setting and plot were very well done. I'm giving it a green rating as an underdog victory. This "shot in the dark" b movie turned out to actually be good.
