Another "Does anyone know any movies where..." thread
Does anyone know of any movies about starting over or moving on...and/or perhaps about someone moving somewhere completely different and foreign to them, like from a small town to a huge one like NYC?
Thanks ahead of time.

Funny Farm, where Chevy Chase plays a big city sports reporter who moves to a Norman Rockwelleaque town.
I also remember some movie series from the early 80's, called something like The Wilderness Family. The family's daughter has bad asthma so the family moves out into the woods.
