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

Lies My Father Told Me (1975)

David is growing up in a small household with his longsuffering mother, his serial-inventor father, and his beloved Grandfather "Zaida." David's favorite activity is spending the day with Zaida on his junk wagon, calling for rags, clothes and bottles (but they'll really take anything that can be sold or recycled).Their home is within a small community where everyone knows each other and is all up in one another's business.

It's a loud, messy movie that should've been charming, but it's sunk by the child playing David. He's SO BAD at acting and the entire film is on his shoulders.
