Loving the history of films I could give you some black and white ones, but even there you could have some kind of violence, but very-VERY mild compared to modern violence in movies.
I can think of one Icelandic film though, that hasn't been in mentioned and is very sweet (was nominated for the Oscar - best foreign film). The Children of the Nature .
People will Talk - with Cary Grant (is actually a reaction to the Hollywood black list)
Charade - Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn
I think I already mentioned Hitchcock, but To Catch a Thief, Spellbound, and Rear Window are especially good. Never, ever watch the Birds or Psycho.
Harvey - with James Stewart - has some interesting undertones about who's crazy and who's sane
Pride of the Yankees with Gary Cooper
There's also John Sayles' more modern Eight Men out and Redford's "The Natural" if you like baseball
Political movies: All the President's Men (although it may have language issues) and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (old, but a good look at corruption), and Dave - might have some language, but it's a really sweet film about replacing the president with a lookalike.
THe original Born Yesterday with Judy Holliday, William Holden is great.
You also might check out some of Frank Capra's stuff, although sometimes I think it's a little too hokey, but stuff like It's a Wonderful Life, Meet John Doe and there are loads of others.
Historical adaptations, Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South adapted by the BBC around 2004 with Richard Armitage.
Lots of things that were made for TV may also suit you.
Oh and hans shot first
uhh---apart from Luke Skywalker, considered by some to be themost infamous mass-murderer of all time.
One of my favourite films . . .
Aha. So those light sabres really are toys. Thought so .
by people who really need to get out more
Each to his own I guess. I watched it as a kid and it left an impression. But I might need to re-evaluate it...
Have you seen the 1939-ish one with Errol Flynn. Makes a much better RH, IMHO.
Remember the titans
Erin Brockovich
Seabiscuit
Calendar Girls
Erin Brockovich: you serious? I'm pretty certain she swears throughout the film
Calendar Girls: nudity (& the odd bit of swearing as I recall)
See what I mean? We need better definitions of how the OP defines movies with no foul language, nudity/sex scenes and violence...
