You could try Angel-A. it’s a supernatural romantic comedy set in Paris. Don’t worry about the Black and white photography – it is so beautiful.
The ‘Taxi’ series of movies are enjoyable French comedies with madcap car chases thrown in.
Pauline at the Beach (which I saw years ago) was gentle and rather lovely.
Betty Blue is a controversial romantic / tragic comedy (well kind of!) with some rather naughty bits in it.
If you can catch it on BBC some time ‘Day for Night’ is a classic french comedy about the making of a film.
Subway is another romantic adventure comedy set on the metro.

Here’s a link to info on the international movie data base on a really cool French movie. It’s not exactly Amelie, but then again nothing is (except Amelie, of course).
I thought it was excellent, I hope you can find it. And if you can, I hope you enjoy it.

hundreds of great French films, maybe thousands.
Look up Francois Truffault, Jean-Luc Godard and Luis Bunuel. Also check out “Delicatessin”, same director as Amelie: Jean-Pierre Jeunet
“Une femme est une femme” by Godard has a similarly playful sense of humour to Amelie.
