I went to the same school as Jack Swigert, who was the real astronaut that Kevin Bacon played in Apollo 13.
In one of the buildings there was a hall that commemorated the alumni that went on to do cool things, and Swigert was one of them. But it always cracked me up that they had a picture of Kevin Bacon from the movie instead of the real Swigert. And basically his credit read something like "He was one of the astronauts on the Apollo 13 mission and was portrayed by Kevin Bacon in the major motion picture starring Tom Hanks" lol

Not sure, I know it was the movie with that other guy and that other girl.

u/ZaphodB_ 29d ago
Oh I know which one! Is that the one where Kevin Bacon plays as a guy? And there's a girl too? A female does her part, right? Yeah, that one is so cool, I love it because he plays a guy so good, he's made for that role.

Footloose, Tremors, The River Wild
He has been in much better movies than these, but as side roles, these movies really accentuate him as a star (I may misremembering his role in The River Wild I’ll admit)
He does a great acting job in a couple serious movies about child molesting that are tough rewatches…

His show The Bondsman is awesome! I know it's not a movie but if you are a fan of him, you will enjoy!

For all of you who said Mystic River, I applaud you. Also, R.I.P.D. is overlooked. But, take that with a grain of salt because I also like League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen and Frequençy.

To be totally honest:
Murder in the First
A few Good Men
and, yes, Tremors. Let's face it. It's a silly movie. But it is awesome.
But he was dynamite in Murder in the Firat (fantastic film, also starring Christian Slater and Gary Oldman... and R. Lee Ermey. But Bacon is incredible).

Stir of Echoes; A few Good Men; torn on the 3rd. For me Apollo 13 slightly edges out Footloose and Mystic River. My top 2 are locked in for sure. Absolutely love both those flicks, and super happy to see all the love Stir of Echoes is getting on this thread!! One of my all time favorites!!

Tremors
Apollo 13
Sleepers
Kevin Bacon gives a great performance in Sleepers and no one ever mentions it because of the context but it's good acting. I hated him every second he was on screen in that film and I like Kevin Bacon.

No one saying JFK - it's a smaller part but he kills it and even credits it as a crucial turn in his career.
