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

I enjoy all kinds of movies but when it comes to favourites it's mostly quite silly ones that come to mind!

Lost Boys
Labyrinth
Harry potter series (despite the terrible acting from the kids)
Point Break
Hot Fuzz (watch point break first so you get the references!)
Clueless
Easy A
Pitch Perfect
Chalet Girl
Safety not guaranteed
Romeo + Juliet
True Romance
And a load of Christmas films but that's probably not what your looking for at this time of year!
Also recently enjoyed the remake of West Side Story, and Don't Look Up.

You have indeed! Some excellent performances, including the always perfect Mandy patinkin.
