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

The Arrangement (1969)

Eddie's a rich ad-man with everything he could want materially, but nonetheless attempts suicide. His desperate wife calls in therapists and lawyers, but Eddie just wants to be left alone. When he gets word that his father is ill, he flies across the country to be with him and basically sees his future in front of him. In this setting, he's also reminded of his past and has to contend with his own present self. 

It's a fucking lot. It's also a fucking indulgent mess.
