The 10 Best Things On Netflix To Watch When You're Home Sick

Being home sick used to mean you were stuck watching talk shows, soap operas and the Price is Right. But not any more. Now we have Netflix.

10. True Lies

Funny but not too funny (too funny can hurt when you're sick). Good plot, but not too complicated, in case your head is a little foggy.

9. Pretty Much Anyhing Ken Burns has Done

The War, Baseball, the Civil War are all gems. But dont count out the lesser-known documentaries.

8. The West Wing

Before the House of Cards we could pretend that government was full of idealistic do-gooders. Watching the West Wing will help you remember that there's hope in the world, just be sure to stick to the Aaron Sorkin seasons (1-4).

7. The September Issue

The September issue of what? Who cares. There are a lot of good documentaries about big, interesting projects. Even if you've never opened Vogue, it's worth the watch. You'll love it in the same way you loved it when Mr Rogers used to visit the crayon factory.

6. 20 Feet from Stardom

Classic music + a cast of lovable, gifted singers = heartwarming documentary

5. The Breakfast Club

If a nerd, a jock and a total basketcase can learn to get along, maybe there's hope for your body and the germs to learn from each other.

4. The O.C. (Season 1)

Ryan Atwood and the Cohen family? It's a Chrismukkah miracle!

3. A Leage of Their Own

Really, any good sports movie will do. Good alternates include Rudy, The Mighty Ducks or the Karate Kid.

2. Top Gun

Sometimes when you're sick, it's just that you've lost that lovin feelin'. The movie is epic. You've seen it a hundred times, so it's not a big deal if you fall asleep. But the parts that you're awake for will be awesome.

1. Friday Night Lights

Your eyes may not be clear (depending on the disease), but Coach Taylor and Tammy Taylor will give you a full heart, which means you cant lose. Well, as long as you stay away from Season 2.
