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.

It Happened One Night (1934)
A drama directed by Frank Capra.
A rich woman runs away from her family and joins up with a regular traveler. As they make their way towards New York, her family searches for her and the relationship between the 2 travelers deepens.
This is a perfect example of what I mean by plot, setting and characters value. For fuck's sake, it's made in 1934, but it's a damn good film. The story is told very well and without any Hollywood bullshit. Mock me if you wish, but I know a good movie when I see one. That's why I'm running this film blog and you're not!
