Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster are superb in <em>'Freaky Friday'</em>! Having only seen the 2003 remake, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this 1976 original. In short, I loved it.

They only give you a snippet of Ellen (Harris) and Annabel (Foster) in their actual state, before switching it up, but it's more than enough to set up how the characters should act versus how they then act. The two leads are utterly fantastic, they both boss their respective roles. It's easy to forget they're...
