When they shoot his friend, Japanese soldier, that’s pretty rough.

Has anyone made the transition from child actor to legit movie star better than Christian Bale?

All time favorite. Been years since I've watched it. Probably my first real introduction to Malkovich.

Not too many for sure. Maybe Kurt Russell.

Great movie! One of my all time favorites.

Like Kurt but not sure he made it quite as big as Christian.

The only ones in the conversation would be:

Jodie Foster
Natalie Portman
Leo
Kurt Russell
Drew Barrymore
JGL
Liz
Elijah Wood

(ETA: Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland should be be on this list, too, Neil Patrick Harris, Christina Ricci, Kirsten Dunst and Emma Watson could be, too.)

And Leo probably has a bigger adult career, but that might be subjective.
