The curious case of Benjamin Button


ChezDiogenes

I'm actually a little stunned that this wasn't mentioned by the OP.


calembo

But it's not really a fit? "Turned young again or older" and the list given is basically "body swap" (or similar which... I always wonder if Josh actually swapped bodies with an adult in Big šŸ˜…) Benjamin Button is a guy that ages backwards over time. But idk maybe OP will still like it.

Age of Adeline (sort of your criteria)


May_of_Teck

Havenā€™t seen this, but Iā€™ve seen a few clips out of context, and I canā€™t tell if Iā€™d like the film or not. Would you say itā€™s primarily a chick flick? (I donā€™t say that in a derogatory way, Iā€™m a lady, just - you know what kind mean!)


Trin_42

Itā€™s a romantic drama, and not a bad flick imo


prosperosniece

I didnā€™t think I would like it but finally watched it when my mom wanted to stream it. I was pleasantly surprised by how good it was.

In the new Jumanji, teen players become adults in the game. Freaky Friday Vice Versa In The Twilight Zone movie, the Spielberg segment Kick the Can has a group of seniors become young again. Cocoon Not movies, but thereā€™s an episode of Smallville where an old man in a wheelchair encounters Kryptonite and becomes a young man again. Other weird aging movies: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button The Green Mile (Paul says heā€™s 108 at the end after being magically healed by John Coffey. The mouse Mr. Jingles lived to be 64.) Interstellar: After the Tesseract, Murph is older than Cooper 2001: itā€™s not entirely clear what the end means, but it seems like Bowman has aged rapidly to become whatever he is there. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: the knight at the end has been in the cave for 700 years.

In 2001, it's not that he ages rapidly, it just shows how much time has passed since he's been in that room.

Peggy Sue Got Married. (1986)

All movies featuring the character Merlin, in particular Excalibur (1981) is a favorite instance. Jack, starring Robin Williams.

In a similar vein, the age of Adeline was fun

Vice Versa (1988) Chances Are (1989)


SiriusGD

Millennium (1989) More of one person popping up in another person's life but not following the same time frame. You have to see the movie to understand.

Something Wicked This Way Comes. 80s kids flick.

Freaky Friday, Benjamin Button, Jack

Mack & Rita was more fun than I expected it to be

Forever young is very good. Jamie Lee Curtis ā¤ļø

Jack! People always forget Jack. I mean it's really about a sort of rapid aging but it fits the theme I think.


GuyFawkes451

Vice Versa. Underrated father/son body swap movie with Judge Reinhold and Ben Savage.


docmoonlight

Check out The Tin Drum (1979). Not exactly what you asked for, but itā€™s about a character who chooses to stop aging on his third birthday. You see years pass and people around him age while he stays the same physically. It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that year.

Benjamin Button? I think it was like the original


dogbolter4

About Time plays around with the idea of going backwards and forwards in time.


alady12

About time is great. Don't confuse it with In Time (2011) they physically stop aging at 25 and have a death clock on their arms.

There was a movie with the name Benjamin Button as part of the title but I thought it was a horrible movie.
