Tremors
Apollo 13
Frost/Nixon

Tremors is probably my favorite monster movie. Instant pick. I liked him in Apollo 13 as the astronaut who starts to get sick. Bacon was outstanding in Frost/Nixon as Nixon's aide. Really helped humanize Nixon. Unfortunately there are some Big Bacon Classics that I have not seen, so they were ineligible for my list. He is also in a lot of movies but not the star or side character, so I did not select those. I will be curious to see what everyone else selects.

I wanna say Animal House, but I feel that I'd be cheating the system.

I kind of hate Footloose because merely mentioning it gets the song stuck in my head for eight hours.

Footloose
Apollo 13
Death Sentence

I checked out Death Sentence after seeing your post, cause I liked the title.

Good movie.

I agree. I've got a few I'd really like to see, but we'll play it out.

Hate to bump the old one, but I didn't answer yet...

Tremors
Frost/Nixon
Mystic River

I thought about Apollo 13 but I haven't seen it in like 10 years, and that was during school. I've been meaning to give it a proper viewing again now.
As a matter of fact, it's free for me on demand this month and I plan on watching it soon.

So are you asking in terms of which role of a movie he was best or the ones he just happened to star in?

It can be either. If you think Hollow Man was a terrible movie but one of Kevin Bacon's best performances then you could list that and talk about it.
