Kevin Bacon deluxe

Like Japanese tourists who photograph Mt. Fuji, like romantics who pilgrammage to see the swallows of Capistrano, so must all movie buffs eventually pay their respects to The Oracle of Bacon web page. Hosted by UVA, this site is *the* place to try your hand at the Kevin Bacon game: enter in the name of an actor or actress, and in the twinkling of an eye the oracle will tell you how many degrees of separation stand between that person and K.B., and will give you links to all the relevant movies and people to boot! Among the other interesting features on this site is a game that lets you view the links between any pair of acting talents, and also a write-up on how the webmaster discovered that Kevin Bacon is actually not "the center of the Hollwood universe." Who knew?
