"Critical Care" - a Great Film to Prompt Discussion over Inappropriate EOL Treatment

I had forgotten how much great dialog there is in the 1997 film Critical Care with James Spader, Helen Mirren, Kyra Sedwick, Albert Brooks, and Anne Bancroft. For example:
Doc 1: "If there is no reasonable prospect of cure why should we proceed?" Doc 2: "Where have you been all your life? It's called revenue."
Of course the plot itself presents great issues for discussion: two daughters trying to time their father's death for selfish ends.
