I'm going with Abigail Breslin in Little Miss Sunshine (2006)....she's a super freak, super freak...good times.

I can't help loving Dakota Fanning in anything she is in. I don't know why... she just makes me happy.

as much as I dislike his grown up performances, you can't diss Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun (1987).

I have to agree with Ben. Rick Schroder in The Champ (1979) was pretty great. Too bad he went on to do Silver Spoons.

Home Alone (1990). Also Unbreakable (2000) might be Shyamalan's best movie, and it had a very good role for the child. "they called me mr. Glass"

Chloe Moretz in (500) Days of Summer (2009) is a personal fave, she pulls off the wise beyond here years act so well. I do have a feeling that this performance will soon be replaced by her performance in Kick Ass though.

Thumper from Bambi(1942)!

Quinn Hunchar in Ink (2009) ;)

Alex Etel in Millions (2004). Also, not film but the kids who played Sweet Dee, Charlie, Dennis and Mac in the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia Xmas special were pretty rad too.

Definitely Catinca Untaru's performance in The Fall (2006). Every other kid's acting seems inferior in comparison to her.

Ricky in The Champ (1979)! I start to tear up when I think about his scene with a dying Jon Voight. Man...

short-round in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)

The two kids in Son of Rambow (2007). Uh-mazing.

If anyone says, Anakin kid in Phantom Menace... I'll ... be very grrrr :) Seriously, I'd say Isabelle Fuhrman from The Orphan (2009). Though a real creepy movie, I thought she did a great job.

Nicholas Hoult in About a Boy (2002).

Macauley Culkin from Uncle Buck (1989). If only for the questions scene.
