Really old 1920's movie or 1930's?!
Question: People die and are put on a ship, they don't know they're dad nd think that it's a trip to America. A couple on the ship know what really happened because they were "suicides" eventually the rest of the crew finds out that they are all dead and the cruise isn't to America, but to be judge for the afterlife.

Well,
Funnily enough I remembered the Simpson's episode that parodied this movie. I had a vague memory of the movie actually being from the 40's though. It took a bit of research but I got it.
The movie is called Outward Bound, from 1930.
Here's the plot according to wikipedia:
A disparate group of passengers find themselves aboard a darkened, fog-enshrouded crewless boat, sailing to an unknown destination. Their stories are revealed one by one. Tom Prior, a prodigal son, discovers that he's travelling with his ex-boss Mr. Lingley, a captain of industry; Tom's mother, Mrs. Midget, whose identity the son does not know, is curious about how her son is doing; Mrs. Cliveden-Banks, an affected socialite, chats with the steward Scrubby; Rev. William Duke, a clergyman, is keen about his missionary work in the London slums; and a young couple, Henry and Ann, who are facing an impossible love affair and find they cannot live without each other, wonder if they'll be together forever. In time, the passengers slowly realize what's going on -- the one thing they have in common is that they are all dead, and they are on their way to either heaven or hell; during the course of the trip they will be judged. Arriving at their destination, they sit awaiting judgment by Thompson, the "examiner". He will determine what sort of punishment or reward they receive in the next world. But Henry and Ann, who unsuccessfully committed suicide and now hover in a sort of limbo between life and death, have not quite crossed over yet. Scrubby, the ship's steward, has already been condemned to sail the ship for eternity, having successfully committed suicide. Henry is eventually saved from asphyxiation by his dog breaking a window pane; he calls to Ann, she revives, and together they are rescued by an ambulance.
I think you'll be interested to know it was remade in 1944. and then it was called Between Two Worlds.
