Films to watch when ill?

I'm ill, I'm sending the lady-friend out to rent a film and I've no idea what to get. Does anyone have any "favourite" films they watch when curled up on the sofa, wrapped in a duvet?

    The Meaning of Life: also fantastic to watch when you have the flu.

    Not a movie, but the first time I saw the video for Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads, I was really young and semi-delirious with fever, and something about that made it pretty great.
