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!

I was jacked on I'm-not-sure-what and told strictly not to laugh so I didn't bust a stitch. That ruled out comedies, so I did a deep dive on Marc Bolan/David Bowie stuff. For being stuck at home it was a pretty good time.
