Went with Footloose - probably not the best movie with Kevin Bacon in it, but the movies that were better weren't really his. And while Tremors was, and it's had a certain cult impact, Footloose (not that I was a fan) hit the same spot Dirty Dancing and Ghost did, which makes it his signature movie.

In terms of the best movie with Kevin Bacon in it, I'm torn between Animal House and Apollo 13, and he had a much bigger role in Apollo 13, so I'd probably go with that.

I went with the X-Men one, as it's my favourite X-Men movie and he was a good villain. :)

I saw an interview and he really seemed to enjoy being in that movie. The Marvel Universe should probably cast him in one of their movies to step up their villain game.

I watched Stir of Echoes this past October. It holds up very well, still pretty scary.

I voted for Animal House. I was a junior at college when it was released, so the perfect target demographic.

I went with other. "She's having a baby" would be my pick. My wife and I love that movie.

I like almost every movie on that list, but I went with Apollo 13. The film could have treated the astronauts as saints but Bacon's character surely isn't, and his surprise addition to the crew makes for some interesting dynamics.

Mystic River was probably the last great film I remember him being a part of. I'll go with that one.

Tremors. I grew up watching that movie. The only other option is considered was First Class but since he wasn't the lead in went with the horror classic.

Tremors was a horror movie? :-o I thought it was an action adventure monster movie.

I'm going with Tremors, as that's pure Bacon.

A Few Good Men is probably the best movie on that list, and that's saying something, because it's a really good list.

Me too! We saw She's Having a Baby at the movies back in the 80s and loved it, it truly is Kevin Bacon's finest moment as well as Elizabeth McGovern. One of the great 80's new wave soundtracks too (a must own if you don't have it).

Also stars a very very young Alec Baldwin.
