This week, I’m suggesting the movie Big for two main reasons.  The first is that it was just released on Blu-ray this week and the second is that it stars Tom  Hanks who is reprising his role Robert Langdon in Angels and Demons today in theaters.

Big tells the story of Josh Baskin, a kid who makes a wish in front of a fortune-telling machine on the boardwalk of a county fair.  Shockingly, he wakes up the next morning to learn that his wish came true – he was now all grown up and his poor mother, after having an encounter with this grown man in her home, reports him as a missing person.

It’s a great movie filled with a lessons about relationships, work, aging and the importance of keeping laughter and fun in our lives.

Memorable scenes – Tom Hanks playing the giant piano in F.A.O. Schwarz and teaching Elizabeth Perkins to jump on an indoor trampoline.
