Kiernan Shipka, Mad Men. Sally Draper is one of my favorite characters in the series, and she only exists as more than a background role because Shipka demonstrated at a young age that she was capable of rising to the complex and demanding material Matt Weiner always wanted his show to focus on. I think she’d just…

This list needs Natalie Portman in Leon: The Professional.

Hailee Steinfeld in the True Grit remake.

“Mind you, I may be playing fast and loose with the age cutoff” — Roman Polanski

Jodie Foster was 12 when she filmed Taxi Driver. That’s gotta be the winner.

Brooklynn Prince carried The Florida Project.

I would add

My immediate answers (Maisie Williams in GoT, Hailee Steinfeld in True Grit) are a couple years past the cut-off date, so I’ve got nothing.

This is completely accurate, and there’s not enough alcohol in the world to ease the pain of that fact.

Is a movie a comedy if it doesn’t make anyone laugh?

It’s been a while since I saw Nosferatu, but the effects in Faust are awesome. The movie as a whole is great too. Definitely check it out. While on the subject of German silent films, also see The Caginet of Dr. Caligari if you haven’t before. It’s not a special effects movie, but the look of the film is incredible.

* There’s an apparent bias against musicals in this list. Fred Astaire dancing on the ceiling in Royal Wedding and Gene Kelly dancing with Jerry Mouse in Anchors Aweigh are one off scenes but movies like Singin’ In The Rain, American in Paris and especially Busby Berkeley’s Golddiggers films were innovative fx driven…

Call me old fashioned but this still blows me away.

Remember me, Eddie? When I killed your brother, I talked just

“Soon, where Toontown once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels; restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food! Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see!!

I know its been overtaken by T2 as the far superior film from Cameron but The Abyss is the proper start of modern CGI.

Jurassic Park was second only to Ghostbusters as my favorite movie as a kid; it definitely held the top spot for a while. I watched it recently on Netflix after maybe 10 years, and it’s still pretty goddamn impressive. The CGI looks, at worst, pretty good, and the practice FX are frigging lights out. It makes me happy…

Ha, definitely making a statement by not including Avatar. That reeks of “This movie was such shit and it’s such a stain on the art of filmmaking that it’s still the biggest movie of all time that we’ll choose to ignore it, the way audiences have ever since it made its billions and went away.”
