What are some of the most compelling performances you've seen on film by a child actor? For simplicity, let's only mention child actors who were 10 or younger when they made the film.
Here are my top 5
1. "Danny" from The Shining. 2. "Cole" from The Sixth Sense. 3. "Elliot" from E.T. 4. "Newt" from Aliens 5. "Lupita" from Man on Fire

You forgot Tatum O'Neil in "Paper Moon."
And don't forget Shirley Temple. Timeless.
. I've not seen either of those films so hence why they were not on my list.

Christian Bale in Empire of the Sun. Good call. Gotta say, as enjoyable as The Shining can be, there weren't really any good performances in it until Nicholson loses it.

Natalie Portman in 'Leon' springs to mind.

Ricky Schroder in The Champ. Heartbreaking performance.
