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

Captain Fantastic (2016)

A father is raising his six children out in the wild -- teaching them everything from political science to stalking and taking down prey with a knife. They’re healthy, bright, and seem quite happy. When news of the mother’s death (who’d been in the hospital for months) reaches them, they decide to travel down to the funeral in Arizona, despite the real risk of having the family split up as a result.

This is smart and original and kicked off an interesting conversation.
