Local Hero.

The Grand Seduction is a Canadian film about a Newfoundland village trying to persuade a young doctor to move to their community. It's sweet and funny and way more universal than you'd think a story about a Newfoundland fishing village would be. I think it would be a great fit for your group. I'm def. going to look this one up! Thanks so much! I'm a Canadian girl born and raised but have lived in the US for half of my life. I have never seen any Canadian films, I don't think. I'd love to hear more titles that you recommend. Doc Hollywood was a similar story line and a very cute movie.

Some Like It Hot... Love that movie...
Princess Bride is a quirky love story with some action and comedy...
And I love Love Actually for a modern Christmas movie - it shows so many different types of love... There's a Christmas love story with Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, and Jude Law that's sweet...
Older Christmas favourites are White Christmas and Christmas in Connecticut...

Failure to Launch is a one of my go to movies. It sounds like a chick flick but it is SO funny that DH "doesn't put it in that category" lol.

I second The Exotic Marigold 1 and 2, 100 Foot Journey and also Danny Collins The Way with Martin Sheen is also very good and about people in that age bracket: A father heads overseas to recover the body of his estranged son who died while traveling the "El camino de Santiago," and decides to take the pilgrimage himself.

Walk of Shame! so so funny! we belly-laugh every time, also on the juvenile-teen-boy type funny - Neighbors. Our 60+ year old friends enjoy both with us. And I agree with someone above - Pitch Perfect is a good funny movie.
On the romantic-comedy - Love Actually and 50 First Dates are always good.
