Taking a sick day? This is how you make the best of it.

Sick days exist in an alternate universe. Time slows, to-do lists dissolve, and the only priority becomes to rest, recover, and rewatch Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

But why stick to the Greatest Hits when you can broaden your sick day horizons with yet another undemanding, soul-soothing movie? Between your naps, tea refills, and unexpected sneezing fits, you’ll definitely want something comforting to watch. But there’s no reason why you shouldn’t stream something that you’ve never seen before (or, at least, seen fewer than 2,173 times). Whether you’re at home with a cold or just taking a mental health day, here are six films that might help you through the fog.

Pure spectacle helps the medicine go down. With its quick pace, relatively short runtime, and infectious cast chemistry, The Marvels delivers pure spectacle and more. Watching this movie is like chugging a Gatorade. You feel better afterwards, even though you’ve only ingested sugar. It’s not the most complex or contemplative of Marvel films, and that’s why it goes so well with a head cold. This should be your #1 choice if you love cats!

If your idea of cinematic comfort food involves period-appropriate attire and whispered gossip, then this is the movie for you. Ambitiously directed by Robert Altman, this non-stop labyrinthine murder mystery may seem like a lot with its multiple concurrent storylines, but it’s easy to follow. Set in England 1930s, this is an upstairs-downstairs fever dream of a drama that deserves all of its Academy Award nominations – and pairs excellently with an actual fever. The tension is never too strong as to overwhelm. Also, a bit of trivia: This movie was written by Julian Fellowes, the creator of Downtown Abbey, and Downtown Abbey was originally conceived as a Gosford Park spinoff.
