Sometimes I do have the feeling of not wanting to watch something heavy and dragging, makes me think too much, I would rather go for something light, sweet, or makes me smile during the movie because the story reminded me of my past, young love, love at first sight. The feelings that you do not know if it was just pure liking somebody or was it love.
Movie Combo - Melody (1971), My Girl (2003), Flipped (2010), Moonrise Kingdom (2012)
These are all about love around similar stage. Different background, different culture, same love. Melody (UK, 1970s), My Girl (Thailand, 1970s), Flipped (US, 1950s-60s), Moonrise Kingdom (New England, 1960s)
The setting and the other characters completed the films. They made the story real, including peers of the same age, family issues, parents issues, neighbourhood issues, problems in school, etc. Do you remember how was it like to be young? To do something just because you want the person you like to smile?
Among the movies above, the natural stage where girls are way more mature than boys of the same age was only shown in Flipped, subtly. If you want elopement, go for Melody & Moonrise Kingdom. I have put together some images and trailers, oh well, they did fall under the same category..
