6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon

Recommended Posts

My apologies if there's another 6 degrees thread, the search function's not working right now.

 

While watching a video of Moon over Bourbon Street that Bob Lion54 linked, which featured scenes from the movie Interview with a Vampire, I noticed Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, and Christian Slater were all in the movie. Tom Cruise was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon, which reminded me of the game.

 

It works like this if you're for instance trying to link Carrie Fisher to Kevin Bacon:

Carrie Fisher was in Star Wars with

Harrison Ford was in The Fugitive with

Tommy Lee Jones who was in Batman Forever

Val Kilmer who was in Heat with

Robert Dinero who was in Sleepers with

KEVIN BACON!

 

So, in this scenario, Carrie Fisher has a Bacon number of 5, though there are shorter routes that would give her a lower Bacon number--how small can you make her Bacon number? How about Katherine Hepburn? Your favorite actor/actress?

I think that should be 1 degree. You should only score 0 if your favorite actor is Kevin Bacon. In fact, probably should add +1 to all those.
But it's the same movie. Another movie to the movie would be 1 :(

 

AbE:

*wikis the rules*

*grumbles*

*adds +1 to all of post 2*

 

Frickin' teekay :mad::D

Here's an easy one: James Dean.

 

I can do it in 3 :)

James Dean – Dennis Hopper in Rebel Without A Cause

Dennis Hopper – Jack Nicholson – Easy Rider

Jack Nicholson – Kevin Bacon – A Few Good Men

 

I bet a cookie that was the one you were thinking of.:)

 

How about Cary Grant?

 

Cary Grant – Katharine Hepburn – Bringing Up Baby (a comedy I highly recommend)

Katharine Hepburn – Warren Beatty – Love Affair (1994) which is a remake of An Affair to Remember starting Cary Grant (the Grant version is better).

Warren Beatty – Oliver Platt – Bulworth (1998)

Oliver Platt – Kevin Bacon – Flatliners (1990)

Did not even think about Giant. (My Texas citizenship is likely to be revoked). :D

 

You also get extra points for the Waterworld reference. Much like Kevin Costner I’d like to forget about that one. (Although Waterworld make for a good water stunt show at Universal Studios Amusement Park).

 

I guess I owe you a cookie, chocolate chip alright?
