Sick Day movies

As winter settles in, sick days become a more common occurrence as you're laid up in on the couch wondering what to do and if you have enough tissues to make it through the end of the day. Reading's a good choice. And if you're feeling slightly more energetic, a good craft, game or puzzle ought to do the trick to keep you from going stir crazy. My favorite activity, though, is curling up in front of a movie.
No matter how old I am, I still think the best sick day movies are from the 80's. In fact, two of the best use the idea of a sick day as their foundation and build timeless stories:
There could be no post about sick days without including the master-faker himself, Ferris Bueller. While Ferris wasn't actually sick, his parents never knew that (talk about clueless)!
The Princess Bride is a classic, featuring a young Fred Savage as the sick-at-home kid hearing a story of fantasy and adventure from his grandfather.
Whatever your choice may be, stock up on tissues and chicken soup and some honey for your tea. If you do happen to find yourself sick at home this winter, we hope you feel better soon!
