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 Hobbit (1977)
An animated fantasy by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.
A country gentleman hobbit is elected to be a thief for a band of traveling dwarves who are on a quest to reclaim their kingdom and wealth. They go on a long journey to this area and have adventures along the way.
This ranks right up there with Holy Mountain in the best films category. The animation is superb and the film elements (plot, characters, setting, pace, style) are all very good. The style is what really stands out and makes this a classic. I hope that people will watch this far into the future and marvel at it's quality. Obviously, I'm rating it best.
