Separately, I don't know that it would be any use for the class, but let me recommend the completely ludicrous lesbian superspy/supervillain romcom DEBS. There are plots against Australia, plaid forcefields, giant moneybags, a sassy straight friend, and an Erasure montage. It's one of my top two favorite lesbian movies of all time.
The other is Nina's Heavenly Delights. Indian-Glaswegian family loses father, may lose restaurant, everybody's keeping secrets, very sexy cooking scene (seriously, the first time I watched it, Kate tried to talk to me in the middle of that one, and I said, "SHH! PORN!" even though it's food porn not porn porn). It's adorable.
But more useful suggestions, um. I feel like there's something to be said for Commedia dell'arte as a comparison to stuff like Aristophanes, but of course that's obscure too. Let's see. Mamma Mia! which even takes place in Greece and has an Aphrodite reference. Blue Brothers. Robin Hood Men In Tights. Oh gods, even RHPS.
Random side note, the Alphabelt came up not too long ago, and I was wondering if you still have it and how it's held up.
