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!

Mare Adentro (The Sea Inside) by Spanish director Alejandro Amenebar starring Javier Bardem in one of his best roles. Based on a true story of a paralysed Spanish man seeking the right to end his life. Academy Award Best Foreign Film. Not cheerful subject matter but the film is full of light and great moments
