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

The Virgin Suicides (2000)

The youngest of five teenage daughters in a restrictive, religious household finally succeeds in killing herself. As a result, the remaining girls become a curiosity -- and even more closely watched by their parents.

The best thing about this film was the mood, which was an unreal mixture of dreamy and melancholy. The problem is that it also felt kind of slow and ultimately too small for the screen.
