I really like your mindless comedy choices.
Dazed and Confused is basically my high school existance back in the 70's.
I liked Little Miss Sunshine, too. Saw this in the theaters but recommend as rental: Howl's Moving Castle (anime, for both adults and kids)
Some other movies I've recently rented:
Russian Dolls (the kids from L'Auberge Espanole grow up)
Kinky Boots (simultaneously hilarious and poignant, based on true story--highly recommended)
Jackass 2 (incredibly crude, incredibly funny)
Devil Wears Prada (occasional weak dialogue but loved Meryl Streep)
In theater: Children of Men--very cool production design, superb acting

Go for Romance!
If it keeps raining, and stays cool outside, you have to watch "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir". You'll laugh and end up using half a box of Kleenex. (One of my all time favorite movies)
Here are four I bought as a boxed set of Romance:
Chocolat
Like Water for Chocolate
Il Postino
Amelie
Word of caution: if you watch Lake House, have the other half of that box of Kleenex nearby- LOVED THAT MOVIE. I want to find the original. Based on/remake of - a Korean Fantasy/Love story.
I'm not sure if I'm a hopeless Romantic, or just hopeless.
If you're reeaally off your feet and have time on your hands, find "The Women" with Joan Crawford. Get out your brightest red nail polish and enjoy 3 hours of side splitting, "back stabbing" catty humor of a bunch of women going to Reno for quickie divorces back in the day. 100% female cast. Black & white with a 15 minutes full color Fashion Show right in the middle of the movie. Too funny. Lots of great lines and quotes in this movie. My favorites - "Honey, the grass don't grow where she spits!" and the phrase "Jungle Red!" :clap_1:

Absorbing, well-acted Dickensian soap opera: Bleak House
Irreverent story about lobbying for Big Tobacco: Thank You For Smoking
One of my favorite foreign films ever, an engrossing tale of petty court intrigues.
The hero, a country nobleman, gets nowhere in his appeals to get funds for draining the disease laden swamps of his homeland until he learns the art of witty insults. Ridicule
Basically my favorite film of all time, a fish-out-of-water story about Big Oil wanting to buy a small coastal Scottish village. Lots of quirky characters, excellent Mark Knopfler soundtrack and incredible scenic beauty: Local Hero
