Immortel ad Vitam.

The Dark Crystal.

As Good As it Gets.

It's a drama, but not overly bleak, well written and with great acting.

I'll also mention Stardust.

No Country For Old Men
Donnie Darko

Thriller/Drama, but you still could give them a try.

Roma

tl;dr version: Recommend something that isn't an action or comedy film, crime or war film, thriller or horror film, or overly bleak film

So....nothing?

Spring

Not sure how I found it myself, but it left me pleasantly surprised

The Terminal, Cast Away, Apollo 13 (I like movies with Tom Hanks). And already mentioned Moon, Sam Rockwell performance is fantastic.

Max&Marry beautifully sad

Mary and Max

I would say ... La vita è bella ... it has a war setting, isn't a war film, but a lovely romance, comedy and drama movie :) All in one!

oldboy

that movie made my headexplode

A Quiet Place.

Strong narrative and character depth as well as good (interesting) setting? Your movie is:
The Man Who Would Be King.

Perfect Strangers really interesting film, fully recommend

The Dark Crystal? Older, but an interesting one. I like plenty of fantasy genre movies! Not quite as popular as some others in the genre. Krull was awesome as heck too for older fantasy movies. You've prolly seen them?

I don't watch new stuff. The computer generated stuff throws me off, and I get side-tracked since it is easy to tell when it's placed in movies today... and they try to hide it from me, and I get upset about it... and blah blah blah. Potato with oatmeal raisin pineapple pizza on top.

Best of luck finding some gems! :D

Replicas (2017) was pretty nice if you like Keanu Reeves struggle with the idea of human cloning.

Amelie I think fits what you describe
