Good films to watch when you're sick.

    I'd like to watch a film

    I like disaster films when I'm upset - the more explosions and running around the better.

    Mysteries/Thrillers are good when I'm trying to avoid working out real puzzles.

    Film noir is great on a rainy weekend.

    Subtitled films make me feel clever when I can match dialogue to reading.

    But now I have the 'flu. (Proper 'flu too :( ) and I'm stuck. I was thinking a comedy might be a good idea, something warm and easy, like a cosy blanket.

    Any recommendations AH?

    [I never, ever, like rom-coms.]

    'Outbreak' with Dustin Hoffman is a great movie when you have the flu.

    Try Wes Anderson. His newest film is wonderful actually, you might not have seen it. Moonrise Kingdom.

    Anything by Pixar

    I'm not joking, when you're sick as a dog, nothing like little animated fish and houses floating on balloons to take your mind off it

    You're posting on the Internet and can contemplate watching a movie.

    You don't have flu!

    Guinea Pig: Flower of Flesh, Blood Cannibal Holocaust and Salo: 120 Days of Sodom are all fairly sick films if that's what your looking for.

    If you want "sick sick" then look no further than:
