7. Dark Blood
In every generation, there is always one actor or actress who is deemed to be the most talented out of the entire bunch, and on the male side, River Phoenix was considered to be that actor, especially since he became an Oscar nominated actor by the time he was 23. In his career, Phoenix appeared in 14 movies, including Stand by Me and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, and in 1993, he died while he was still filming an independant film known as Dark Blood. Phoenix dealt with drug addicted from a young age, and ended up overdosing on a combination of cocaine and heroine while at a nightclub. At the time of his death, the movie was more than 80% complete, but he still had scenes left to shoot; and even though the director wanted to finish the movie, production came to an abrupt halt. After nearly a decade, the movie was finally released in 2012, with the director acting as a narrator in order to transition between those unfinished scenes.
