Has there ever been a film

I recall My Dinner With Andre being pretty restrained. Other than the scene where the waiter tries to rob them, almost nothing conflicting happens in it.

How about Rocky 3?

Teletubbies: Funny Day
In this installment, the colorful teletubbies have lots of fun. Tinky Winky, Po, La La, and Dipsy blow bubbles, finger paint, unravel a ball of twine, play musical seats, entertain a cloud that has floated indoors, and much more. Lots of messes and silly activities will keep the under-four crowd highly entertained.

In serious reply to the question, I'm sure there are probably quite a few comedies and otherwise that didn't have any prominent conflict involved. I've never seen a Cheech and Chong movie, but I picture something along those lines. An off-the wall film is about the only place I could picture there being any complete lack of conflict.
If by "true film" you exclude zany movies without much of a plot, then probably not. There have to be at least a couple, but they were probably so forgettable with the abscence of conflict that no one here would remember them.

Man vs. Nature - We only have one day to spend with each other. Let's make the most of it! We're history before sunrise!

My chief complaint with Il Postino is that there's no conflict. Everything the protagonist sets out to do, he does with no problem or obstacles whatsoever.

So all we have is Empire?!
I think even that is conflicting in itself, the very name Empire has conflict growing out of it and around it.

I think the closest thing to a conflict-less film is Il Postino.
