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.

Dracula (1992)
A horror by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Winona Ryder and Keanu Reeves.
A Transylvanian immortal buys property in London and moves there. He tries to take a wealthy English woman for his bride, but her male guardians protect her.
This is a decent retelling of the Dracula story, but it is more based on the 1931 film than the book. The style and pacing were great, but there were so many inaccuracies from the book that I won't talk about characters or plot. Just based on what's there, I'm rating it good for entertainment value alone.
