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.

Coraline (2009)
A stop motion animated fantasy directed by Henry Selick, based on the book by Neil Gaiman.
A girl moves into a new house with her family and begins to have dreams of an alternate universe where everything is the opposite of the real world.
I had heard about this when it came out, but forgot it until someone told me not to watch it because it was too scary. I had lost all respect for this person by the end of the film. The style was cool and I really liked the animation. The end seemed like it may have been made in order to create a future video game based on the film. As far as new world order symbolism goes, The jumping mice create a pentagram during their dance and Coraline catches the rose with an Illuminati hand signal. Overall, it was pretty cool. I'm rating it good for being a little unique.
