Last One
.
Is very underrated for Psych/Thrillers. The film didn't get a lot press due to contrast of the Home Alone actor branching off into being a child sociopath, etc.
Good Son (1993) Macaulay Culkin (Henry) and Elijah Wood (Mark); who recently lost his mother to cancer (both actors are 10-11).
[Mark talks to Henry about how he used him for the overpass accident in which Henry drops a fake dummy to cause fatal car crashes] After running 200 yards and hiding under an underpass:
Mark: Do you know what you did?
Henry: Hey, come on. We did it together.
Mark: You could have killed people.
Henry: With your help.
Mark: Hey, I didn't know you were going to do that.
Henry: I feel sorry for you, Mark. You just don't know how to have fun.
Mark: What?
Henry: It's because you're scared all the time. I know. I used to be scared too. But that was before I found out.
{he got away with drowning his infant brother in a bathtub by letting his mother think it was a result of parental negligence}.
Mark: Found out what?
Henry: That once you realize that you can do anything, you're free. You could fly. Nobody can touch you. Nobody. Mark... don't be afraid to fly.
Mark: You're sick.
Henry: Hey, I promised you something amazing, something you'll never forget. Where's the gratitude?
[Mark stares at the empty look in Henry's face]
