#M T F BODY SWAP MOVIE#
It is a very bad film but, you will notice, still ranks several places higher than the 2016 Kevin Spacey cat-based body-switch movie Nine Lives. Alison’s Birthday (1981)Īnother genre outlier, Alison’s Birthday is an Australian horror movie where nothing happens for long stretches of time, and then a 16-year-old girl gets forcibly inserted into the body of a 104-year-old woman. The man is now married to Alec Baldwin Meg Ryan now has cancer. However, in 1992, it also lent itself to Prelude to a Kiss, a syrupy romance where an old man swaps bodies with Meg Ryan after kissing her on her wedding day. The body-swap trope is so unquestionably stupid that it usually lends itself best to comedy. I haven’t heard the song this film is based on, but I would imagine it must be quite something. Meanwhile, his soul is transplanted into the body of 18-year-old Charlie Schlatter a boy who has to save the family business, seduce a schoolgirl with his extensive knowledge of Harry S Truman and stop Burns’ gold-digger wife from pulling the plug on his comatose body.
And yet for some reason, Burns spends most of the film in a coma. 18 Again! (1988)Īnother film from the endless tranche of 1980s body-swap comedies, 18 Again! is a movie starring George Burns that is in part based on a song he had recorded eight years earlier. Which is an extraordinarily complicated premise for a film that primarily exists to allow Corey Feldman to dance like Michael Jackson at any opportunity.

Robards can only visit the real Feldman – plus his wife for some reason – in his dreams. Like Father Like Son (1987)ĭuring an improbable meditation-based bicycle accident, the soul of elderly professor Jason Robards enters the body of excruciating teenage Michael Jackson impersonator Corey Feldman.

Anyway, in this film a voodoo princess accidentally teaches some children how to swap their parents’ bodies around. Actual Peter Bogdanovich, responsible for Paper Moon and The Last Picture Show.
However, I will include it on the basis that it was directed by Peter Bogdanovich. A Saintly Switch (1999)Īgain, I was in two minds whether or not to include this, on the basis that it’s a made-for-TV film that never received any form of theatrical opening. This list primarily consists of body-swap films, but nevertheless I am including Kevin Spacey’s 2016 cat-based body-switch movie Nine Lives because I want to remind people that it is in the top five worst films ever made.
A body-switch film, meanwhile, is a film where a human’s soul is transported into a new vessel without reciprocation. A body-swap film is a film in which two people trade bodies, to surprising and sometimes hilarious effect. Before we begin, we need to make the distinction between body-swap films and body-switch films.
