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

The Mirror Crack'd (1980)

Miss Marple (Angela Lansbury) has a murder to solve when a local woman is poisoned. There's no shortage of suspects and perhaps even an extra target.

It feels more like a TV movie or an episode of Masterpiece Mystery than a major motion picture. If it weren't packed to the gills with major stars in their waning years (Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, Tony Curtis, Kim Novak), it would be skippable. It might be skippable anyway.
