A few of my favorites!

Run Lola Run (Lola Rennt), 1998. 1h 20m. A movie about postwar Berlin, free will, and running. Violence tw: a major character gets shot in the abdomen. Accessibility: movie is in German but I believe it's available with English dubs, if that works for you? There are a few brief (<30sec) animated sequences. One of my favorite movies ever ever. I named my old car after the main character.

Clue, 1985. 1h 34m. Based on the board game, but mostly a very silly movie. Does include a lot of (fairly bloodless) murder and dark humor about murder.

His Girl Friday, 1940. 1h 32m. It's been a while since I've seen this so I'm not sure how to give content notes or what you'd make of the main relationship, but I loved this movie when I was a kid.

Topper, 1937. 1h 37m. Another favorite from my childhood which I haven't seen in years. It's about two ghosts who haunt an old friend of theirs.

What's Up, Doc?, 1972. 1h 34m. This is a remake of Bringing Up Baby and is legitimately one of my favorite movies of all time. It makes fun of academia in a way I really appreciate. It's the definition of a screwball comedy & includes an amazing car chase scene. Warning: some of the initial comedy rests on one main character persistently & nonconsensually showing up in the other's life (as is the case in the original); the movie narrative doesn't play this as stalking but it might be upsetting for someone who has that as a trigger. Also contains a brief scene of a man trying to "seduce" a woman by being grabby which to me reads as rape culture-y.

Hudson Hawk, 1991. 1h 40m. I think I might be the only person who ever saw this movie?? It's not even a cult classic, but it should've been. Bruce Willis plays a singing cat burglar. I ADORE THIS MOVIE BEYOND ALL REASON. Warning: includes a scene of Bruce Willis non-consensually groping a woman which I do not like and find upsetting; also contains two pretty violent but short fight scenes and is otherwise a fairly bloodless action movie (explosions, off-screen deaths &c).
