This is a popular trivia game for movie fans with good memory and can be played at any occasion (eg. outing). Based on the theory that Bacon was the centre of the universe when it came to connecting actors, the object of the game is to start with any actor or actress who has been in a movie and connect them to Kevin Bacon in the smallest number of links possible. Two people are linked if they've been in a movie together. Links through television shows, made-for-tv movies, writers, producers, directors, etc are excluded.
Example: Jamie Foxx (Best Actor, Academy Awards 2005)
Jamie Foxx was in "Collateral" with Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise was in "A Few Good Men" with Kevin Bacon.
Anybody want to try it for Hilary Swank (Best Actress, Academy Awards 2005)?
(Try not to cheat by looking up the movie databases on Internet.)
Some of you may have already heard about this game, but for those who haven't, enjoy!
