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 Aviator (2004)
A drama directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
Howard Hughes becomes a successful film director and builds unsuccessful airplanes as his mental illness worsens.
This was way over-produced, but not really bad in the way that most over-produced films are. The main character going crazy was the best part. I won't tell any more about that, as I don't want to spoil it. Besides the main character, the others seemed replaceable and inconsistent. The plot was alright, as was the style. I'm rating this o.k. because that's exactly what it is.
