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.

My Name is Nobody (1973)
A western directed by Tonino Valerii and Sergio Leone.
A young cowboy idolizes an older cowboy, regardless of skill level. They cause eachother to prove their worth.
This is one of my favorite westerns, as it shows bad ass cowboys being bad ass cowboys. "Nobody" is a cheerful and high-energy young guy with cowboy abilities to back up his demeanor and he idolizes an older, more complex gentleman named jack who can fire a gun faster than any other. There are a few cool scenes where Nobody embarrasses the other cowboys in drinking, shooting and other cowboy challenges. The whole film has such a style to it! I'm rating it awesome.
