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.

Willow (1988)
A fantasy written and produced by George Lucas, directed by Ron Howard.
A human baby is found in a "small people" or "peck" (to quote from the film) village and an aspiring sorcerer must take the child to where she will be safe. With the help of friends who he meets along the way, they defeat the evil army and sorceress who want to capture and kill the child.
This is one of those classic 80s films that everyone sees and everyone loves. The characters and setting were very good. I like it, but it doesn't have that extra oomph to put it into green status, so worthy is a perfectly good rating for this.
