Actor Kevin Bacon turns 55 today,(July 8) and it's hard to believe it's been 35 years since he was getting his start in movies as Chip Diller in Animal House. A couple of years later he was getting shish-k-bob'd by Jason in Friday the 13th. Four years later Bacon had his break out moment as Ren McCormack in Footloose, and suddenly everyone knew who Kevin Bacon was.

My all-time favorite Kevin Bacon movie was The River Wild with Meryl Streep. Bacon plays a  great bad  guy.

You have to love him as Jack Swigert in Apollo 13,  and Captain Jack Ross in A Few Good Men.

Though not critically acclaimed, I have to admit I enjoyed Tremors.

Here's a brief look at the top 20 Kevin Bacon movies of all time. How many of them have you seen?
