I'm currently ill with pneumonia and a kidney infection, I'm trying to distract myself with movies, does anyone have any recommendations?

The one I can never not watch if it's on is Legally Blonde though.

The kings speech is a great movie!

Have watched legally blonde recently, it's my guilty pleasure Blush

I can't handle the boredom of being ill! It's driving me crazy, so I thought I'd have a movie binge.

About Time Death at a Funeral
Someone made me watch Death at a Funeral years ago, I really didn't want to, but it is one of the funniest films I'd ever seen. You want the British version though.

Get well soon OP!

loved About Time as well

So many movies mentioned I'd never heard of.

So far I've watched girls trip (hilarious if you need a good laugh), the heat, stepmom, hacksaw ridge and churchill.

I switch between ww2 movies or comedies.

I can't wait for this nightmare to end, I'm not a good ill person who is! But I can now not get out of bed without fainting.
