Anyone like age changing films?

[Seeker]

Well, since I was blown out of the water in the gender changing film thread, let me start this anyway, since I find these movies fascinating from a "what is it like to be an adult" or "what is it like to be a child again" perspective.

What movies have adults becoming children, children becoming adults, or have a plot where someone ages quickly or youthens quickly?

I've mentioned

Big (child becomes adult)
Freaky Friday (age switching)


but I'd love to see a list of these, as well as the gender ones in the other thread.

Vice Versa
Like Father, Like Son
Forever Young
Jack

[Dimension X]

18 Again (1988)

Cocoon.

Apparently, I like the ones where someone just changes age (Big, Cocoon--especially Big) but don't so much like the ones where two people swap ages (Freaky Friday, Vice Versa, etc.).

The alternative related genre, where 40 year old adults play hyperactive children (ala Clifford) I attempt to strike from my memory.

I can't think of many movies where an adult has to deal with being in a child's body - maybe due to child actor issues?

I can think of a Star Trek Next Generation episode where Picard and a few others became children, but that was just one tv episode, not a movie.

So these tend to be switching movies, since you can keep an adult actor as part of the plot. Or children becoming adults.

I guess there aren't many of these, or else no one cares about them much. Ah well.

Does Look Who's Talking count? ;)

Then there's movies about a guy who is in a different reality... like Matrix and Thirteenth Floor. Same thing, right? ;)
