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.

Thursday (1998)
A crime film directed by Skip Woods.
A former drug dealer has settled down with a wife and a steady job. When an old friend shows up for a few minutes and leaves his suitcase in the house, friends begin to appear wanting the contents of the briefcase.
This is one of my favorite films. I first saw it on IFC and have watched it a few times since then. There is never a dull moment in this flick, as the "friends" promise to kill the hero if he does not give them what they want. The characters are great despite having very little time to develop. If you didn't already guess, I'm rating it best.
