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 Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)
A drama directed by David Fincher, starring Brad Pitt.
A daughter reads a journal to her mother on her death bed. The journal is written by a man who is born old and lives his life backwards, recovering from "old people" diseases, into adulthood, to be a young man again and through reverse childhood.
This movie was almost 3 hours long and a lot like Forrest Gump. There was a heavy emphasis on romantic relationships, and the main character barely ever seemed to have a job, despite never lacking money. The plot and characters were good, so even though it's new and popular, I'm giving it a good rating.
