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.

Something Wicked This Way Comes (1983)
A fantasy directed by Jack Clayton, produced by the Disney corporation.
A carnival comes to a town of unhappy people and pretends to grant them their fondest wishes.
There were some decent special effects in this. They didn't go for anything too advanced for the time period in which it was made, which meant that it stayed tasteful. The plot was a little lacking and the characters were stereotypical, but what do you expect from disney? I have to rate it o.k.
