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 Haunting (1963)
A horror by Robert Wise.
A researcher calls a few people to investigate a haunted house with him. One woman, a shut-in, is driven insane by the house.
This is the "old version" of Rose Red and a better one. It's not that it's more scary, but it has class and style. The new versions lack subtlety and finesse. Again, it's part of a crowd of haunted house investigation flicks, but at least it's one of the first. I'm rating this good for those qualities that newer movies just don't possess.
