Big (1988) Netflix
Josh Baskin, a young teen fed up with being treated like a kid, makes a wish at a carnival fortune-telling machine to be "big" — and wakes the next morning in an adult body while still thinking like a boy. Forced to navigate the grown-up world, he and his best friend head to New York, where Josh lands a job at a toy company, stumbles into his first romantic relationship, and discovers the perks and pitfalls of adulthood. Between hiding his secret and learning to shoulder real responsibilities, he confronts what maturity truly means and must decide whether being "big" is really what he wanted. The film blends comedy and heart as it explores wish-fulfillment, identity, and the value of childhood.
