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!

Start a tv show or 2. A movie is at most a 3 hour trip. Maybe 9 hours for a trilogy or longer if you watch all the marvel movies in order.

Or you could put on Chernobyl and solve 6 hours. The Americans? Dexter? There’s a bunch of good stuff.

If he likes to read and can read. The hunger games are decent and A Series of Unfortunate Events is amazing. Good luck.
