My suggestions for movies are: Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Drop Dead Fred. But I know somewhere where you can find recommendations for movies, books, music and websites: http://pleiades-net.com/
Pleiades

It's a really good site for women, and there are pages called "Women's Choice" where people write and recommend their favourites.

Kat's suggestion for intersting colouring books is good. A publisher called Dover Books has truly wonderful colouring books, with stained glass designs, designs from various artists like Alphonse Mucha, and decorative designs like Islamic tile patterns.

Also, I know what I would probably do if I had to stay in bed for a long time: take up the suggestion (was it kat's?) to learn something new e.g. a new language or hobby, or study a period of history which interests me. I'd set targets of what each stage of learning would be and then having goals would help to stay motivated and also make it easier to see how far I had progressed.

I reckon it would be great to learn or practise singing or a smallish instrument like a flute/tin whistle, a mandolin, or something like that. I never schedule time to practise music, but I could see myself being motivated if life in general had to take second place to learning music, rather than the other way around. The added bonus is that playing music or singing would be like sharing music with the baby, too.
