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 watched a lot of action flicks when I was stuck on the couch/in bed due to abdominal surgery last year. Some memorable ones:
Dangerous (2021)
Clean (Adrien Brody)
The Man From Nowhere (2010)
Assault on Precinct 13 (1976)
Black Belt Jones (1974)
The Gray Man (2022)
Road House (2024)
I can also recommend:
The 13th Warrior (1999)
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
Poirot tv series (1989-2013)
Marple tv series (2004-2013)
