Got a cold - In bed - Movies please?

That sucks! Of course now I can't remember any... so here's a few for starters...
Garden State with Zach Braff (wrote and directed as well) and Natalie Portman. Welcome to Collinwood, a Coen-esque caper.
Life is Beautiful - fantastic, subtitled though! Glengary Glen Ross - from a Mamet play, huge cast! Rushmore - Wes Anderson. Rebecca - overlooked Hitchcock!
Pi - Darren Aronosky - chaos theory, Jews and Wall Street, quite dark but I love it... not to everyone's taste.
In Bruges, hilarious. Wonder Boys, Robert Downey Jr is superb - these are quite well known, but possibly overlooked.
If you haven't seen them yet, Iron Man, just good fun... The Hangover, very funny!
If you think it's going to last, The West Wing or The Wire box sets... although they will leave you feigning illness. I actually think everyone should watch these two anyway!

LA Confidential, Usual Suspects. Suspect you've seen them.
How about Scent of a Woman? No, not that sort. Al Pacino plays a blind ex army (I think) chap determined to have a lot of fun before ending it all. Needs a companion, quite good.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest - everyone ought to see that film. Nicholson is brilliant.
Uncle Buck - simple fun.
Mamphis Belle - ostensibly just another war film, but a good portrait of how young they were and as such, quite humbling.
Apocolypse Now - because the rest of the time we're too busy to sit through it. Thought of as a wzr film but actually a horror film in which the hero becomes the monster he seeks.
How about some old British classics? OK, dated now, but you'll probably never find time otherwise and they're worth it for the artistry and to see how films were made then. Check out the background detail and context.The Third Man won an Oscar for cinematography.
Maybe some different ideas there. A good opportunity to try something new.
Hope you feel better in time for Christmas mate.

Bullitt - but ONLY the original.
Thomas Crown Affair - ditto.
9 - very entertaining Tim Burton science fiction animation - if you liked Nightmare Before Christmas you'll like this.
Anything with Emmanuel in it....
helps the blood circulation don't you know.....

helps the blood circulation don't you know..... I know it was an S8, we couldn't get any S models back then, the occasional S6 would get imported and the A8 were just big luxo boats.
The S8 only had 300hp in those days, nope, my mistake, the S6 had 300hp, same as my Zed today
but it's still a good movie....
