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.

McLintock! (1963)
An American western comedy directed by Andrew V. McLaglen, starring John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara.
A man's long separated wife comes into town to greet their daughter's return from school. The town is having troubles with the Indians in the area at the time and the man and his wife are having relationship problems.
John Wayne in a comedy? I don't say thankee. The plot was simplistic, but absurd and I don't blame the copyright holders for disowning it. There were fist fights, but no real gunslinging going on. The style was typical of a comedy and the production value was mediocre. I'm rating this poor because John Wayne isn't funny.
