Why is it when you are a kid you cant wait to grow up- and when you are past 40, you wish the time never went by so fast. It's amazing when u are in grammar school..how slowwww the months seem to go by. Mostly because you are waiting for Christmas or summer vacation, but when you are an adult you constantly say things like "I cant believe it's been 10 years since" this..or that... I think what miss the most about that age is the imagination you have...things you can come up with playing with friends...or just playing by yourself in your room...When you reach adulthood, it vanishes :(

I always cry at the ending of this movie where he says to Elizabeth Perkins charcther that he will always think of her and then he gets out of her car and this sad music plays and we see him going back to being 13 in the end.

this movie its part of my life, my childhood spent my afternoons in front of the tv watching over my little brother because my mom had to work, made me the man I am today

Yes we should appreciate our youth but we must remember to tell our kids that they need to appreciate their youth. Because as Tom Hanks himself once said, "Once it's gone, it's gone forever. It's not a bad thing but you'll miss it." All of us need to appreciate life in general. It's not always easy but it's all we got.

You sound slightly younger than Millennial to me, but if you think like that, then that gives me hope for the future.

I realised this scene was relevant and important to the film when I saw Big as a pre teen and teen. But only when you've been an adult yourself for a while, do you realise fully how important this scene is to the film, and how much it expresses. I also see now... this is a picture of childhood and teendom as it should be - free from abuse, full of possibilities. It hits on that level too, as why Josh felt he needed to go back to being a youth. He knew he would always miss out otherwise, on what he needed to have done - those innocent times on the one hand. Even if it would be painful at other times, as Susan remembers rightly in the film, you need to go through all that time emotionally - not avoid it. Wonderful film.

We all wish to be older, when were young. Now that I’m 55, I wish I could relive my time as a child , to see my time with my family with knowledge of how time changes everything

The part that gets my eyes watery is when he throws the baseball back to the kids and shows them playing ball I think of me and my brother when we were kids doing the same thing until it got dark and we would get “the whistle” from our mom that it was time to come home.

What I love most about this scene is the ideal Anytown USA vibe. What a wonderful place to grow up in.

Some people don’t get to enjoy youth, but get to enjoy it with their own children. That’s reality, and not a film. But this film does show a different dimension towards adulthood if one who has missed out youth. God bless the youth.

I'm almost 50 now, and this scene sure hits me differently now than when I first saw this as a kid. 😥

So cool man

Such a sad scene.

You're only young once. And it goes fast enough already.

Another way of looking at it is that no one seems particularly bothered he's gone!... Joke, I love this scene.

I have seen "Big" many times (I have it on VHS still, no less, because I was lucky enough to get a machine that plays both those and DVDs before they were phased out, so I didn't have to buy everything all over again when it all became DVDs only). It wouldn't necessarily have occurred to me to label this as the "best scene" in the film if I hadn't seen a KZread video referring to it as such, but on seeing it now, I can see that it is. There are no words spoken (at least, from Josh's perspective) but you recognise everything as his neighbourhood from previous scenes even before you see his onetime crush, Cynthia at 1:10, who was part of the reason for him making his wish to grow up in the first place (although now he's gone the other extreme of being too "old" for her). If you look hard enough at 0:51, you can see that the school where the photograph takes place has "George Washington Junior High" on the sign: what he told his employer was his own school. That's *his* school photograph and he's not in it. This is quite aside from the boys playing in the leaves and the boys dressed identically to him when he was "their age" as they practise baseball. (He might even know them, but of course, they call him "mister" at 1:21 because they don't recognise him). I always found this scene poignant (although my VHS version doesn't show him looking at the skyline or entering Susan's house for some reason, but cuts straight from him walking out of the park to Susan looking at him and asking what's wrong), but as an adult who has often revisited the places where I had my childhood around Christmas time, etc., I get that strange Josh-like feeling of how time has passed so suddenly and of feeling like a part of the place and a stranger to it, simultaneously. (It also strikes me that I was younger than David Moscow when I first saw the film, but I'm now slightly older than Tom Hanks was at the time he was in it.)

I remember watching this movie when I was 11 years old & thinking that Tom Hanks should just continue on down his successful road. Today I realize how incredibly short sighted I was & how much I lacked perspective. All kids do. He obviously made the correct decision returning to his 13 year old self. I wish I could have a do-over of my entire life. I would do everything much differently.

It’s been 4 years since I have been home. I feel like Josh. Looking back, as an adult, there are things that you miss and want to do. But in my case, I can’t go back. If I do, I would be failing to be an adult.

I know a perfect alternate ending: Josh wakes up in his bed right after he had rushed into the kitchen and reunited with his mom. At was all a dream, but also a message from the future: it taught him some very valuable things about being an adult. So he cleans out some childish toys from his room and becomes a better and more supportive friend to Billy (you can see this in the very last scene of the existing movie). He realizes that he does not care much about girls like Cynthia, but when he goes to school he sees a new girl with pigtails, and he immediately knows it is Susan, the woman in his dream. So he and Susan are of the same age for real, and they can grow up together. Wouldn't that be a lovely version?

Even though Josh is an idiot. You got to feel sad for him in this scene. He misses his family and being a kid and Zoltar transforming him into an adult was the consequence of his wish to be big and that now he's experienced adulthood, he must become a kid again and that you are only young once and he had tough choice to make and that would mean leaving Susan and telling her the terrible truth that he's actually a 13-year-old boy.
