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.

Soldier Blue (1970)
An American western adventure directed by Ralph Nelson, starring Candice Bergen.
A woman is being taken to a fort to meet her fiancee and the army patrol taking her there is attacked by native Americans. Only one soldier survives the encounter and together they try to reach the fort.
Besides the opening music seeming to be sung through a tremelo effect, this was great. The plot was good and the female lead was strong and all kinds of ooh la la. Definite female anatomy points there (like it needed them). The ending is death metal lyrics brutal, but that's all I'm giving away. The bulk of the plot is the soldier and the woman trying to survive the perils of the wild west and it's so cool. I rate this film awesome.
