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

The Untouchables (1987)

Everyone's in top form in this rousing "good vs. bad" movie. Costner is the squeaky clean Ness, Connery is the too-old-for-this beat cop who takes Ness under his wing, Garcia is the chip-on-his-shoulder young buck, and DeNiro is Capone.

Though it's a little bit creaky and sometimes feels more like a TV procedural than a blockbuster movie, it's still a good story told well enough to hold interest.
