Big (1988)

It’s a pretty common dream for kids to want to be adults. That’s what Tom Hanks’ megahit Big is all about, where the lead character makes a wish and is suddenly an adult overnight. 

While the premise of the movie is cute and funny and has plenty of memorable moments, not everything would work nowadays when looking deeper. The particular issues people would have with the awkward relationship between a man (who is really an underage kid) and an adult woman are a bit close to stories that frequent the news.
