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.

Corpse Bride (2005)
An animated musical directed by Tim Burton and Mike Johnson.
At a wedding rehersal, the groom forgets his lines and goes to the forest to practice. When he says them right, he accidentally awakens the ghost of a bride who was murdered there and is transported to the land of the dead.
The animation was cool and the setting was good. I usually like Tim Burton stuff, so I'm rating it a worthy blue. If you like The Nightmare Before Christmas, you'll like this.
