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

Where the Lilies Bloom (1974)

After their father dies, four kids try to fulfill his dying wish of keeping the family together. To do this, they have to keep his death a secret -- which gets more difficult with each passing day. 

Though not particularly well-made, this is a good family film. It covers the importance of hard work and family while also tackling the hard truth that even loving parents are not infallible.
