I thought that this selection is ideal since we're in the midst of the busiest times of year in terms of shopping, however, also the period of when dreams/fantasies do tend to come true....
Thanks again to Amazon.com

Personal Note:
Lord, it is again very difficult for me to fathom that I originally saw this film in the theatre over 17 years ago and at the time (I was around 11) it piqued/sparked my imagination....What would it be like to suddenly become an adult and deal w/all the trials and tribulations that one encounters when one embarks upon that journey....
Tom Hanks was sensational in this role..especially portraying an pre-adolescent child trapped in an adult body and situations.. he added the perfect emotions (especially the naivete) with flawless execution....
So many memorable moments that I bet everyone on here can recall w/out most hesitation...of course the scene FAO Schwarz toy store dance on the keyboard floor mat..or just some of the innuendos spliced in throughout the film..such as.. "ontop" when referring to the bunk-bed which obviously contrasted on what Elizabeth Perkins' thought that Josh Baskin was referring to...
Speaking of which..true..Hanks put on an Oscar worthy performance, but the surrounding cast were just as stellar... The aforementioned Perkins put on an impressive performance...and Robert Loggia and Jared Rushton were just as brilliant as well...
I bet several (including myself) wanted for Perkins' character to become "small" when Baskin returned back to his actual self and it could have potentially made for wonderful sequel, but it probably wouldnt have been as successful minus Hanks....
BIG of course is for all ages and is another one of those films that I can watch nonstop without losing any interest in it...it is definitely a flim you share with your loved ones and is ideal to be screened during any time of year....Penny Marshall directed this film in an ace manner..and Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg wrote a screen-play for the ages..Certainly a must see, but I bet everyone here has already seen it... and a countless amount of times at best....
