What are good "fish out of water" movies?


So for those who don't know, a fish out of water story is one where someone is put in a totally foreign environment, this creates conflict, often comical conflict.

So rich person put in poor environment (or vice versa).

Teacher thrown into inner city school.

Vegas singer put in a convent (obviously sister act).

What's a good example?

this has nothing to do with movies but today i saw 300 fish released in a small pond at my park, had no clue they stocked the pond like that, a show that i've watched falls in this category however. check out Chill island
