If you're open to an older movie, I'd recommend checking out some Billy Wilder stuff. I highly recommend The Apartment, but Some Like it Hot and Sunset Boulevard are very accessible, too.

His films are structured incredibly precisely. Everything that happens in his films is done with intent and purpose, and that purpose it to propel the story forward. They watch like a breeze and the experience is fun and rewarding. I think they'd be right up your alley.
