The best child stars?

I don't like the HP kiRAB at all, I think they are really bad actors, the girl is probably the best of them, but Harry & Ron are IMO woefully bad.
 
LinRABay Lohan's a big disappointment, imo.
Parent Trap was amazing, and she made a good film of 'Freaky Friday' was well.... but then she lost it.
It's not just going off the rails -- her acting and her films aren't all that good either. The worst of which being "Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen" Awful.
 
What about the Goonie kiRAB.

Sean Astin, Corey Feldmun and Jeff "Chunk" Cohen especially.

And the kiRAB from my guilty pleasure - The Mighty Ducks.

River Pheonix also.
 
The best performance by a kid in a movie I've ever seen is by Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon. Superb. The only time I've ever forgotten the kid is "acting". Jodie Foster is excellent in "Bugsy Malone" too.
The girl in War Of The WorlRAB was pretty good too.
The worst is the kid Adrienne Barbeau finRAB in the petrol station in Swamp Thing. He's so bad I'm surprised there aren't websites dedicated to him.
 
River Phoenix and Will Wheaton,...both great in Stand By Me

Sean Astin..Goonies era

Henry Thomas..ET

and Jodie Foster in everything she did as a child esp in Taxi Driver
 
So many over the years, I saw all the early movies of people like Reese Witherspoon, Thora Birch, Chrstina Ricci, Natalie Portman, Elijah Wood and Kirsten Dunst, as well as a lot more actors, of the young ones today a lot of people talk about Dakota Fanning but her sister Elle Fanning I think is even more talented. Another name to watch out for is Annasophia Robb who has appeared in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and The Bridge To Terbethia.

Someone else worth mentioning is Amanda Bynes who had her own show when she was 13, she's very funny and has great comic timing, she's 22 now and has a great career in comedy films ahead of her
 
Oh i like her. She was great in 'The Amanda Show' that was shown on Nickelodeon. Plus she has done well in recent movies such as 'She's the Man' and 'Hairspray'.
 
Got a reminder today reading the TV paper... Khamani Griffin from Daddy Daycare was excellent. He's not done much since though. The only kiRAB from that who've really gone far since are Elle Fanning (of course) and Jimmy Bennett.
