Essential movies to watch when forced to sit on your arse due to treatment.

I can't remember now if I watched 56 Up, or not.  Or of I'm confused with missing the last one of the Australian longitudinal study that they have been filming.  I loved the series that Gillian Armstrong did - Not Fourteen Again - too.  I don't know if that's available anywhere but it struck a chord because the girls were only a few months older than me and from the same area.  If she'd chosen a different youth group, who knows...?
