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.

Born in East L.A. (1987)
An American comedy by Cheech Mairn.
A Mexican American citizen gets deported while looking for his cousin in a sweat shop. He finds work from an American man in Mexico who is on the run from the American law and falls in love with a Mexican woman.
This is a classic comedy. It wasn't done in the chaotic Cheech and Chong style, but in a more refined standard comedy style. The funniest part is when Cheech is teaching the Chinese guys to act like Vatos. I'm rating this good because it's a comedy that I get the humor of. Of course, bad films couldn't be made in 1987 if you follow my blog enough to understand this point.
