Watch "Amelie" next time you're home sick, or...

It's whimsical and uplifting, willing to laugh at the little quirks of everyday people and utterly inersed in the fact that what makes people weird is also what makes them interesting. Also on a purely visual level this film is a work of art, composition, lush color saturation, and all the fine detail of dream before you wake up.

(However, if you're too sick to follow subtitles, and don't speak french, I would recommend "Penelope". It is also delightful in many similar ways to "Amelie".)
