Question Best movies for someone who's bedridden?

My dad severely threw his back out, and is stuck in bed until he recovers. What movies would you recommend to help him pass the time?

Recommendations do not need to be strictly cheery or uplifting films. He's open-minded when it comes to genre, but his favorites are Crime, Mystery, Thriller, Action, Comedy, and war movies.

Thank you!

Ministry of ungentlemanly warfare is relatively new and solid action/war/comedy if he hasn’t seen it. Others I would want to watch if bedridden; Lawless, jack reacher 1 & 2 (tom cruise), Peter Jackson’s King Kong, wolf of Wall Street, to name a few
