* The Filipino TV movie ''Kuya and Me'' has a 5-year old boy wish to be like his CoolBigBro, which is granted literally when both swap bodies with each other. Things are further complicated when a ''second'' swap impacts said big brother with his girlfriend, with all 3 individuals trying to live each other's lives as best they can while finding a way to reverse it.

* The live-action ''Film/ScoobyDoo'' movie had a scene featuring a 4-way body swapping between Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy. The bodies rotated a few times before everyone got back to normal.

* The 1999 made for TV [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0132666/ Wonderful World of Disney]] movie (boy, Disney sure likes to use this gimmick a lot) [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Saintly_Switch A Saintly Switch]] finds Creator/DavidAlanGrier and Vivica A. Fox switching bodies. For a rare complication, the wife was pregnant but too early on to be aware of it before the switch, which sees the husband having to go through the pregnancy on top of the usual issues with adapting to life in his wife's body.

*''IdentityTheft'': Matt and Karen wake up in each other's bodies. Later, Rachel and Carrie.

* ''Film/MustFollowLaw'', a 2007 Singaporean comedy directed by Jack Neo sees Lim Teng Zui, a male blue collar technician and Tanya Chew his younger, educated female supervisor swap souls after a freak accident. Unusually for the GenderBender subgenre the romantic angle is downplayed and [[spoiler: the ending leaves it ambiguous as to whether the protagonists swap back.]]

* ''Film/ItsABoyGirlThing'' swapped the high-school jock and the unpopular geek girl. Anchor Bay Entertainment (through The itsy bitsy Entertainment Company) got the US home video rights to the film and released it on DVD two years after the film's theatrical release in the UK.

* The Brazilian movie ''Se Eu Fosse Voc & ecirc;'' ("''If I Were You''") has a husband and wife changing bodies. It goes back to normal after the couple has sex. It warranted a sequel, when both are about to split up, their daughter is pregnant and thus needs to get married... and to make things worse, sex doesn't fix things, only gets the "husband" pregnant.

* 1996 Creator/DisneyChannel television-movie ''Film/WishUponAStar'' (starring Katherine Heigl and Creator/DanielleHarris) concerns two very different sisters who unintentionally switch bodies while wishing upon a shooting star. They learn to love each other, do some math tutoring, go to the [[HighSchoolDance Big Dance]], and get their bodies back. The TV-Movie was released on VHS & DVD by ''Creator/SonyPictures'' (as Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment) in 2001.

* The 2007 Singaporean comedy, ''Just Follow Law'', have a {{salaryman}} and StrugglingSingleFather, Lim Teng-zhui and his bitchy, obnoxious supervisor, Tanya, unintentionally swapping bodies after a car accident between the two (caused by Tanya pulling a NeverMyFault and pinning the blame of a botched public gathering on Lim, resulting in Lim's demotion). The two of them wakes up, realize they're in each other's bodies, and then discovers the personal hardships in each other's lives - Lim struggling to raise a daughter after his divorce, and Tanya neglecting her parents from being MarriedToTheJob - after some wacky hijinks. They ultimately reconciled, an unexpected romance occurs (with them in ''each other's bodies'') and eventually they become a family with Lim's daughter referring to Tanya as "mommy". However, the ending, which is portrayed on a positive note, implies that they ''never'' managed to undo the body-swapping [[EsotericHappyEnding and will be stuck living in each other's bodies for the rest of their lives]].

* ''Film/{{Freaky}}'': Typical schoolgirl Millie Kessler swaps bodies with a serial killer, and has a day to reverse the switch or be trapped in his body forever.

** ''Dream A Little Dream'' was a bit more complicated. The mind of Coleman (the old man) entered the body of Bobby (the teenager) and took over. Coleman's body was nowhere to be found. Bobby's mind was suppressed, but showed up to talk to Coleman in his dreams. Coleman's wife, Gena, also vanished. Her consciousness showed up inside Lainie, Bobby's would-be girlfriend, but Lainie's mind remained dominant.

* The Korean comedy ''Miss Change'' has a bit of a spin on this. A lawyer discovers the body of a girl alone one stormy night, and accidentally swaps bodies with her. He and his friend later discover that anyone who kisses her body swaps with her. The end has the lawyer dumping the girl in a bus stop, as an old beggar swaps bodies with her.

* ''Film/TheChangeUp'' -- family man switches bodies with bachelor.

* 1989's ''Film/DreamALittleDream'' exchanges the minds of a senior citizen (Jason Robards) and a teenager (Corey Feldman), which throws a little bit of both OvernightAgeUp and {{Fountain of Youth}} into the mix.
** ''Dream A Little Dream'' was a bit more complicated. The mind of Coleman (the old man) entered the body of Bobby (the teenager) and took over. Coleman's body was nowhere to be found.

Her consciousness showed up inside Lainie, Bobby's would-be girlfriend, but Lainie's mind remained dominant.
* At approximately the same time as ''Dream a Little Dream'' was released, three other body-swap movies with the same young/old theme hit theaters: ''Like Father, Like Son'' (1987), ''Eighteen Again'' (1988), and ''Film/ViceVersa'' (1988). See DuelingMovies.
* ''Film/FaceOff'' more or less ''plays'' like a mind-switch. [[Creator/JohnTravolta Sean Archer]] undergoes a plastic surgery that gives him the face and voice of [[Creator/NicolasCage Castor Troy]] to get information from Castor's brother Pollux about a big bomb called "Sinclaire". But Castor wakes up from his coma, forces the doctor to give him Archer's face, and stays that way for the rest of the movie. By making the surgery so perfect that the only way to tell them apart is a blood sample, we enjoy how the two lead actors must change their performances 40 minutes in and take on the personality of the other character. John Travolta as Castor Troy looks no different from John Travolta as Sean Archer, but allows for very obvious contrast between how the two characters behave.
* In ''Film/TheHotChick'', the main character who is an AlphaBitch is bodyswapped with a (male) criminal. In this case, the bodies change into the other person's body, so the main character goes to sleep and wakes up in her own bed with a man's body.

It warranted a sequel, when both are about to split up, their daughter is pregnant and thus needs to get married... and to make things worse, sex doesn't fix things, only gets the "husband" pregnant.
* ''Film/PreludeToAKiss'' has Creator/AlecBaldwin as a new husband who is somewhat disconcerted when his new wife's psyche and that of an old man are switched when he kisses her ''on their wedding day''.

* The 1940 comedy ''Film/{{Turnabout}}'' (later adapted as a short-lived TV sitcom) has a married couple inhabiting each other's bodies due to a spell from an enchanted statue. In the film (not the TV version), the voices go with the selves, so that the husband's body speaks with the wife's voice and the wife's with the husband's -- as in more-recent animated cartoons.
* The Australian comedy ''Film/DatingTheEnemy'' has a fighting couple switch and experience life in the opposite gender's body, bettering each other's life in the process before getting their bodies (and their love for each other) back.

* ''Film/TheChangeUp'' - family man switches bodies with bachelor.
* ''Film/{{Detention}}'' has a temporal version of this. Sloan Fisher wakes up in her teenage daughter Ione's body in the present day of 2011, while Ione wakes up in Sloan's body... in 1992, back when Sloan was in high school. This plays havoc on the film's TimeyWimeyBall, and is one of the factors that almost leads to {{the end of the world|AsWeKnowIt}}.
* The Russian film ''Film/DayWatch'' has this with two protagonists who do it to hide one of them.
* The Korean comedy ''Miss Change'' has a bit of a spin on this. A lawyer discovers the body of a girl alone one stormy night, and accidentally swaps bodies with her. He and his friend later discover that anyone who kisses her body swaps with her. The end has the lawyer dumping the girl in a bus stop, as an old beggar swaps bodies with her.

The barista overhears their conversation and sets this trope in motion for a one day period by serving them both a magical espresso.
* ''Film/JumanjiWelcomeToTheJungle'' features four teenagers who enter a video game and are put into the bodies of the avatars they chose. The awkward nerd becomes a buff AdventurerArchaeologist, the gym-hating bookworm a hot ActionGirl, the JerkJock a [[TheNapoleon short]] PluckyComicRelief sidekick, and the phone-obsessed AlphaBitch an [[GenderBender overweight man]].
** [[Film/JumanjiTheNextLevel The sequel]] takes it further: there are more players, they don't end up in the same avatars, and at one point there's a trap that switches them around again.

* ''Film/AllCheerleadersDie'': When Leena resurrected the girls, she inadvertently swapped Hannah and Martha's bodies with each other.
