	Some impressive lists! Wonderful reading over the titles. Most of them I've seen and love. But I did find a few new titles to add to my que.

	As one who greatly appreciates the boy actor, I can well understand how easy it is to list endless boy films. I can think of two which have not been mentioned in previous posts. Didier Haudepin ... This Special Friendship. Jordan Christopher Michael ... Motorama. Great boy actors that immediately come to mind are: Elijah Wood, Joseph Mazzello and Haley Joel Osment. I also have to include Jeremy Sumpter but only in the category of BEST LOOKING boy actor.

	This is a spectacular list of films! Must See Films! Zabladowski wrote on 12. Mar 2005 at 01:45: Alright Jasen, I'm giving up! By ignoring the excellent performances that you, cal and YA have already mentioned, I got my list down to 50. But that's as low as I'm able to go. Robert Bettles - Let The Balloon Go Branden Nadon - Jet Boy Jeff Sutton - Nature of Nicholas Noam Zylberman - Outside Chance of Maximilian Glick Rene Carlisle - Rebellion of Young David Alex Svanbjerg - Rubber Tarzan Frederik Christian Johansen - Someone Like Hodder Kasper Andersen - Møv og funder Pelle Hvenegaard - Pelle The Conqueror Miikka Enbuske - Handcuff King Georges DuFresne - Ma vie en rose Gilles Budin - Blue Jeans Nils Hugon - Comedy of Innocence Ovidiu Balan - Mondo Teufik Jallab - Killer Kid Edmund Moeschke - Germany Year Zero Tamas Meszaros - Abandoned Eirik Evjen - Scars Bartosz Idczak - Meska Sprawa Sergiusz Zymelka - Where Eskimos Live Artyom Bogucharsky - Lilja 4-ever Ivan Dobronravov - Return Juan Jose Ballesta - El Bola Manuel Lozano - Eres mi héroe Max Enderfors - Passing Hearts Aaron Johnson - Tom & Thomas David Bradley - Kes Freddie Findlay - Feast At Midnight Jack McElhone - Dear Frankie Martin Stephens - Innocents Sam Bould - Hollow Reed Barret Oliver - DARYL Bobby Driscoll - Window Brad Renfro - Client Corey Haim - Lucas Freddie Bartholomew - Little Lord Fauntleroy Jeremy Blackman - Magnolia Jeremy Licht - Twilight Zone Movie Joseph Mazzello - Cure Mason Gamble - Rushmore Michael Kramer - Over The Edge Miko Hughes - Mercury Rising Paul Franklin Dano - LIE River Phoenix - Stand By Me Robert Ri'chard - In His Father's Shoes Sebastian Dungan - Man Woman and Child Skip Homeier - Tomorrow The World Ted Donaldson - Decision of Christopher Blake Thomas Wilson Brown - Family Sins Vladimir Kosyrev - Freedom Is Paradise Even getting it down this far was a trial for me. There are just so many good performances. Taking a different approach to your second question, in order to prove talent to that new studio owner, I would show him the complete works of Freddie Bartholomew, Bobby Driscoll, John Howard Davies, Joseph Mazzello, and Juan Jose Ballesta. I don't remember any of these guys ever giving a poor performance.

	David Ladd in 'The Proud Rebel' (1958). I won't list 10, but just one I discovered recently. At age 10, Ladd's job was to tug at our hearts, which many boy actors can do (as Ladd did in 'A Dog Of Flanders') but without the use of words. He plays a mute, the same challenge Holly Hunter won an Oscar for in 'The Piano', and we always know what is going on in the speechless boy's mind and heart. Even more challenging than playing the mumbling, endearing mute was making the climax of the film credible. I burst into tears, and not just because Ladd was cute and pitiful. Reviewers lauded his performance as brilliant. 'The Proud Rebel' is on Amazon and IndieFlix.
