Many of us have wondered what it might be like to live someone else's life. Whether it's living in another country, waking up with no responsibilities, or having all the money in the world, sometimes it's nice to imagine how the other half lives. It often seems like life is easier for other people but as these greatest body-swap films ever made demonstrate, the grass isn't always greener on the other side. What we have might not be so bad after all.(If you love films that explore other scenarios, check out the 25 best sci-fi films of the 1970s.)

To determine the greatest best body-swap films ever made, 24/7 Tempo developed an index using average ratings on IMDb, an online movie database owned by Amazon, and a combination of audience scores and Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, an online movie and TV review aggregator, as of May 2024, weighting all ratings equally. Only movies with at least 1,000 reviews on IMDb were considered, and documentaries were not excluded. Director information is from IMDb.
