Assuming GNU find (given your nick):

Code:
show_bigger(){ find -type f -size +"$1" -ls 2>/dev/null;}

For example:

Code:
% show_bigger 10M
1550976 66296 -rw-r--r--   1 root     root     67810654 Sep  9 20:25 ./sqldeveloper_1.5.54.40-2_all.deb
1550982 66308 -rw-r--r--   1 radoulov radoulov 67825452 Sep  9 20:24 ./sqldeveloper-1.5.54.40-1.noarch.rpm
819309 27012 -rw-r--r--   1 radoulov radoulov 27624080 Oct 16 11:58 ./fuz2y_desktop_theme_v1.2.tar.gz

Just saw you want to pass the path too, so:

Code:
show_bigger(){ find "$1" -type f -size +"$2" -ls 2>/dev/null;}

In zsh you could use (size is in bytes):

Code:
print -rl -- **/*(.DL+10000000)

SYNOPSIS

       surfraw-update-path [-add] [-remove] [-check] [-sys] [-all] [-help] [-shell=SHELL]

DESCRIPTION

       surfraw-update-path adds the surfraw elvi directory (/usr/lib/surfraw) to your PATH in your shell's config file.

       Currently it supports bash, sh, csh, tcsh, ash, dash, ksh, pdksh, zsh, rc, and es

       Don't forget to login again or source your login files for it to take effect.

OPTIONS

       -check
	   Checks to see if the surfraw config code is present.  This is the default.

       -add
	   Adds the surfraw config code.

       -remove
	   Removes the surfraw config code

       -sys
	   Updates the system-wide shell config instead of the user.  Must be done as root.

       -shell=SHELL

       -all
	   Attempts to configure the startup files for all known shells

       -help

RETURN VALUE

       -check returns 0 if the surfraw code is present in the file, 1 if it is not found, or 2 on error.

       All other options return 0 on success, or 2 on error.

ENVIRONMENT

       SHELL
	   Used to determine which shell to configure, if -shell is not given.

       HOME
	   Used to find users config files.

       ENV Used by posix-compliant shells to specify a startup rc file.
