"Recommend a movie for a friend stuck on the couch with a cold."

I saw Sin City for the first time a month or so ago & I just couldn't look away. Unfortunately I started watching knowing that I would have to break it up due to an appointment, but I was hanging to get back & watch the remainder. It's probably not the film to help with a cold, but you'll certainly forget yourself once you get hooked on the gratuitous violence. Since it's a cartoon adaptation, it's filmed with everything exaggerated & with an amazing storyline. A sequel is in the works & the benchmark is set pretty high. Can't wait!
