Since I'm a housewife I don't have to call in sick, but I know what you mean; here are a few that I haven't taken off my DVR that I got from TCM and some I've had a few years now:
The Mark of Zorro
Murder by Death
House on Haunted Hill
The Uninvited
The Egg and I
Shane is always good; I finally watched the original Magnificent Seven recently, I think they did a good job on the remake but the original stands on its own; westerns are a favorite genre of mine, I have over 300 titles on my IMDb list of ones I've watched but I still have lots of classics to watch.
