Similar movies?

I enjoyed this film and I'd loved to watch similar movies, any suggestions?

What I mean similar is:

- Feel good movie, but not too childish.
- Characters are little weird, but not over the top or morons.
- There is little obstacles in main characters life (or romance), but not in way like my dog died and now my life is ruined.
- Ending can be sad also, if it makes sense.

IMDB recommendations are usually nothing like the movie you just watched, so please recommend better ones.

Movies I would say are little similar to this are:

- Cinema paradiso
- A bronx tale
- A walk in the clouds
- The girl next door
- Untamed heart

Especially I would like to see a movie where's still some innocence left.

-I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it

Shocked that no one has mentioned Secondhand Lions yet.

I thought it had a striking similarity to the TV series, The Wonder Years, in the general atmosphere.

"Just Looking" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0162236/). It deals with more mature subject matter but it is a modern day period piece around about the same time, and there is the matter of a crush. There is also drama but not the "someone died" variety.
