Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Fat City (1972)

Ends with an effective scene that blends pity, despair, and kindness seamlessly -- a truly stunning 5 minutes or so. It’s a shame that the film leading up to this effective finale is amateurish at best. The acting is clumsy and the dialogue repetitive...Bridges and Keach do what they can, but it’s just no use.
