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.

The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988)
An adventure directed by Terry Gilliam.
An old man arrives at a play in progress that he claims is mocking him. He begins to tell his story, but the theater becomes the target of cannon fire. Everyone leaves except one little girl who is very interested in his story.
The director of this film also made Time Bandits (which this resembles closely), 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The characters in this film were good and the plot was alright. The comedy element made it more of a children's movie than an adult film. I'm rating it o.k.
