Welcome to another fascinating tale of my 80’s film love! Today’s is the 80’s Film classic that stars Tom Hanks as a child in a mans body. It’s…. Big. A heart-warming tale of a youngster humiliated when trying to impress an older girl, who then finds a wish/fortune telling machine Zoltar Speaks where he makes the wish to be big! He awakes up in the morner to find has aged to become a 30 year old man!
After being nearly attacked by his mother not realising its her son, he escapes and finds his best friend who believes him and finds a job in New York working on computers for a toy company.
In perhaps one of the most iconic scenes of the 80’s he meets the companies boss where he then proceeds to play chopsticks with him on a giant piano! This has been parodied all over the place including the Simpson’s.
Tom Hanks actually puts in a deserved oscar nominated performance and keeps you glued to your seat. Worth a punt to watch this if you’ve never seen it
