A little off topic but the best child actors I can think of who were/are very talented are:
Male:
River Phoenix (He was a talented young kid)
Corey Feldman (he was a better actor when he was a little kid)
Haley Joe Osment (laugh if you want but I think he's an amazing talent)
Female:
Shirley Temple (I enjoy Shirley Temple films)
Drew Barrymore (her work in "E.T.", "Firestarter" and "Cats Eye" were great, that was the only time I found Barrymore a talented actress was when she was young)

Seriously, though, just about every child in any Francois Truffaut film was good. Jean-Pierre Leaud's performance in "The 400 Blows" is probably the best child performance ever put on screen.

I don't care what people say - Short Round ruled in Temple of Doom. "You call him Dr. Jones, doll!"
I will admit after seeing A.I., I would be happy to never see Haley Joel Osment on the big screen for the remainder of my days.

I thank God on a regular basis that the little punk will probably never make another film.

More idiotic Stallone bashing continues after everytime I post something, I swear to god it's when people see my Rocky_Stallone screen name that people want to start unecessary Stallone bashing.
Sly didn't start acting in the 70's, his first filming debut was a porn so how can you say something like that?

Lloyd certainly didn't help matters, however, but his performance was no worse than half the players in that film.
The first cine-imp that popped into my head reading the title of the thread was David Mendenhall in the dreadful Over the Top.

Jesus, do every child annoy you in movies? I think that's the point, they are supposed to annoy people, that's what kids are all about.

You should respect them since they are only kids.

I can't believe no one has said Daryl Sabara, the brother from Spy Kids. The sister was pretty cool, but that nerdlet boy should have been sacrificed up at the first opportunity.

I just can't understand how no one has mentionned Hayden Christiansen yet! Attack of the clones proved without the shadow of a doubt that he could play the most annoying whinny brat ever.

Do you know the little girl who played as J-Lo's daughter in Enough? She is so cute, but for sure she got me to my nerve hearing her screaming "Mommy! Mommy!" from her backseat of the car during the car chase. I wish I were there so I could slap her face to eternal silence.
And Damien The Omen .. No, wait. He's not annoying, he's terrifying.

Jonathan Lipnicki without question. He has been playing the same character ever since he was that little s**t from Jerry Maguire(Little Vampire, anyone?)

This is an easy one
BTW: I find his sleeping friend annoying too -
He's my vote for the most annoying "person" to sleep with annoying child actors
