The 11 Best Body-Swap Movies, Ranked
With "Good Fortune" entering theaters, we break down some of our favorite tales of switched identities. Who hasn’t at least once fantasized about switching lives with someone who, from a distance, seems to have a more comfortable, secure, happier existence?
While Shakespeare and others created stories about characters pretending to be someone else, it was Mark Twain’s The Prince and the Pauper that popularized the idea of people in opposite circumstances trying out each other’s lives.
Examples of body-swap movies include:
- “The Parent Trap,” Disney’s 1961 and 1998 films, based on the 1949 German book Lise and Lotte
- Freaky Friday by Mary Rodgers, about a mother and daughter switching not just places but bodies
- The Hallmark “Princess Switch” trilogy, focusing on romance
- Freaky, exploring thriller or horror genres
