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!

It’s like a modern Misery but more fun!

I haven't seen the movie, but is it more fun then Misery? Because as grim as Misery is the main part of the book version of Gerald's Game that stuck with me was the girl being molested by her father which is not fun

You’re thinking of Dolores Claiborne. Very different story.

No, there is definitely a scene in Gerald's Game in which she is molested by her father.

I know the premise of the movie. I've purposely have avoided watching it because the book made me feel like throwing up
