Movies shot in small towns (filmed, Columbia, scenes, picture)

[rishi85]

I love films which are shot(and obviously set) in small towns. I love the feel of the place. Makes me want to settle there even though it will get boring really fast.

Get my point?
Example Dante's Peak.
The film was shot in this small town called Wallace in Idaho.

Or Roxanne(Steve Martin) was shot in this beautiful town in British Columbia called Nelson.

A very suburban laidback feel.


Can you list any more films-preferably from the 70s to the mid 90s. Films shot in small towns/

Thanks

A really boneheaded decision since the entire story is set in Ft. Smith AR and eastern OK. Would have been ok if they had not used Rocky Mountain vistas throughout the movie.
The remake was done mostly in New Mexico but they didn't use shots that were overtly incongruent with AR/OK terrain so it worked.
