These kids killed it at playing younger versions of Tom Hanks, Keanu Reeves, and Bette Midler.

It's always nice to get a backstory. Whether it's just a bit of info to help move the plot along, or a full-on origin story, those scenes are pretty much guaranteed to be some of the most entertaining parts of the movie. And with films like Never Been Kissed and There's Something About Mary, the adult, lead actor usually plays the part of their younger selves. However, it’s most impressive to see actual young actors taking on these roles.

Forrest Gump When Forrest Gump came out in 1994, plenty of moviegoers really didn’t know what to expect. Even with full-length trailers, it was difficult to pinpoint what this film was going to be like, or even be about. But it didn’t take long for the word to spread that Robert Zemeckis' movie was about a man, Forrest , who ends up doing extraordinary things with his life.

Twilight Zone: The Movie The 80s kicked off a trend in which many older, successful TV series were being adapted into feature-length movies. Twilight Zone: The Movie was no exception, and with plenty of episodic plot lines to pull from, making this adaptation was a no-brainer. The movie reimagined four different classic stories from The Twilight Zone, with each segment taken on by a different director. One of those segments, entitled "Kick the Can," was directed by Steven Spielberg.

Goodfellas For as long as Henry Hill could remember, he wanted to be a gangster. That was the first thing we learned when watching 1990’s Goodfellas, a Martin Scorsese film. The movie follows the real-life story of Hill , as he changes from an innocent young New York boy to a fully connected member of a mafia crime family. Laid out in chronological order, the film follows the Hill character from his time in the crime family to his eventual personal prison in the witness protection program.
