You guys are pretty damn good at this and I gotta agree with most but what I find most interesting in a movie are the scenes in which the director gets little kids to act or react in various parts of the filming.

For instance Cary Guffey played the part of Barry Guiler .... the little kid who was abducted by Aliens in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".

Supposedly little kids cannot 'act' .... so Speilberg devised many ways in which to get Cary to 'react' to get the 'reactions' from Cary that he wanted to show on screen.

The one scene I'll always remember is the scene where little Barry Guller walks down the stairs and initially sees the aliens (or the mischief they are causing) with a look of complete and total surprise on his face.

Speilberg claims that he got that scene on film  by dressing up in a teddy-bear costume and dancing beside the rolling camera.

The other scene I'll always remember is the scene where the aliens return Barry to his mother and the look on Barry's face when the aliens depart ......... He had fun and he's definitely going to miss them.

I don't know how Speilberg got that reaction from such a little kid but in my opinion he was a definite scene stealer throughout the entire movie.

Movie kids are great reactors, but everyone from those old studio days claim that Shirley Temple was a true actress and could take direction at a very early age.

Pish tosh. Jackie Cooper, while filming The Champ in '31, was told that if he didn't cry his dog would be shot.

Christian bale in harsh times, he plays a spic(white) military vet. It's not the gratest movie but his acting in it was through the roof. Given his bitch fit two years later, this is authentic pure bale.

Huge movie spoiler, but it's gotta be one of the greatest scenes ever

The bit where "sunshine of your love" kicks in.

Chimps, thanks for that "I'll kill your dog!" reminder. That was mean but it worked and the same shit happens today between major directors and their major stars which eventually gets the best on-screen performance.

I've been on a number of movie sets where major actors perform amazing acting roles and it damn-right fascinating to say the least.

Ten minutes before a major scene you're talking to this nice guy over a cup of coffee and a doughnut and minutes later he's a deranged serial killer in front of that PanaVision camera completely convincible and completely different from his real personality.

I have two family members in the movie acting business and sometimes they 'become' the person they will be portraying on screen at home while spending time with the wife and kids..... and at times, it's downright scarey and very fascinating - especially if he's rehearsing for a serial killer type role coming up. Then the kids all beg him to stop and become their dad once again, or maybe that friendly monster he portrayed last year in Costa Rica.

But they kids at home and up and down the block really love him when he's casted in Planet of the Apes roles (two so far) because they love to climb trees and run up and down the street on all-fours and peel bannanas like a monkey.

And he can immediately change his personality to become any actor you've most likely seen on any movie screen. Good actors really have amazing talent on the screen and off as well.
