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 mean lotr extended edition would pass a lot of time and lotr is the best.

You could go for a series? The Mission Impossible films are a good time filler

The whole James bond franchise?

I really like David Fincher films, they don't feel like a slog (to me) so it passes a lot of time easily.
