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

My Life (1993)

Dying-of-cancer story that tries something new: making the main character cold and rather unsympathetic. They attempt to redeem him by showing us the home movies he's making for his son (at the beginning of the movie yet unborn) and his reconciliation with his past...but he never really matters and his sickness can't make him decent. The problem *might* have been Keaton's performance (which is almost flip), but I think it's more likely the script.
