Sorry, just happy RU is in the dance. Big news but I know there is a BB board for that.
Keanu Reeves and Al Piccino in Devils advocate
AL Piccino and Robert Deniro in the Godfather
Robert Deniro and Joe Pesci in Goodfellas
Joe Pesci and Kevin Bacon in JFK.
It should really be 4 degrees of separation. 6 is too easy.

You're doing it wrong. Whose number are you trying to figure out, here? Reeves? Pacino (correct spelling)? Deniro? Pesci?
If it's Reeves, 4 is incorrect anyway. Keanu Reeves was in "Speed" with Beau Starr. Starr appeared in "Where the Truth Lies" with Kevin Bacon. Keanu Reeves' number is 2 (same as mine, fwiw).
Ok, you win. I just have no idea who Beau Starr is and almost always fall back on JFK to make the connection. I see I'm out of my league here.
He's mostly a TV guy and usually plays cops (like he did in "Speed") but he's also been in two "Halloween" movies and you might recognize him as Henry Hill's father in "Goodfellas".
Speaking of Halloween movies, never caught Rob Zombie's 2007 version of Halloween, but started watching last night on IFC--goes through the early childhood of Michael Myers. It was actually pretty good (even though panned by critics), but fell asleep half way through.
The John Wick flicks were really good
"I saw him kill 3 men in a bar with a pencil......a f'n pencil."
(EDIT: The below is WRONG as pointed out by RutHut farther below.. if you use A Few Good Men yu need to use Nicholson to get to Reds or another movie to link to Hackman and use his ridiculously big tree)
I usually aim for gene hackman (a few good men) where you also get demi moore and tom cruise... using "A Few Good Men" is like cheating because you can get from Gene Hackman to ANYONE,, for example Bacon and Hackman in a Few Good Men and Hackman and Reeves in that football movie.. The Replacements

Jack Nicholson in “Something’s Gotta Give” and Jack in a “Few Good Men” for Kevin Bacon.
Hackman has had quite the prolific career. Wasn't he in The Hunt for Red October. : p
Funny that I don't remember his role in A few Good Men. Must have been a minor role.
OMG.. he wasn't in a Few Good Men! Was I confusing him and Nicholson?
Anyway, they were both in Reds.. along with a star-studded cast so connect Bacon to Nicholson in A Few Good Men then jump to Reds where you can connect to..
Warren Beatty ... John Reed
Diane Keaton ... Louise Bryant
Edward Herrmann ... Max Eastman
Jack Nicholson ... Eugene O'Neill
Paul Sorvino ... Louis Fraina
Maureen Stapleton ... Emma Goldman
M. Emmet Walsh ... Speaker - Liberal Club
George Plimpton ... Horace Whigham
Gene Hackman ... Pete Van Wherryand many others
Walkin dog and another one came to me..(hard to type she's wild)..Lake House staring Keanu +Sandra Bullock..Sandra Bullock= Blind Side w/Kathy Bates. Kathy B =Fried Green Tomatoes with Mary Stuart Matherson(?) Mary =Some Kind Of Wonderful= Director John Hughes = She's Having a Baby w/ Kevin freakin Bacon. Still 4? Darn it..
Gandolfini was in "8mm" with Nicholas Cage, who was in "Adaptation" with Meryl Streep, who was in "The River Wild" with Kevin Bacon.
You could also go with Gandolfini being in "The Last Boy Scout" with Bruce Willis, who was in "Moonrise Kingdom" with Bill Murray, who appeared in "Wild Things" with Kevin Bacon.
3 it is. Also can do 3 with Get Shorty tying DeVito to Nicholson (Hoffa, one flew over the Cocoo Nest) back to a Few Good Men.
Other connections from Get Shorty is everyones favorite mobster, Dennis Farina, and the ever-present Gene Hackman.

Can actually get it to 2 - It turns out that Jim Gandolfini was in "A Stranger Among Us" with, among others, Tracy Pollan - who dated Kevin Bacon prior to marrying Michael J. Fox.
Ferrell and Wahlberg also worked together in "The Other Guys".
James Dean is actually easier than you think.
Appearing with Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause" was none other than Dennis Hopper.
Who was in "Easy Rider" with Jack Nicholson.
dot dot dot
Is that Copland, and is that the same guy who was going to marry Drew Barrymore in the Wedding Singer?
I think it’s from “The Wire”, a series that everyone on here seems to rave about but I still don’t see it.
And that was a different guy from the one in “The Wedding Singer”
Thanks-

Interestingly (or maybe not so much)...
Kevin Bacon is my (4th great-nephew of husband of 2nd cousin 6x removed).
I know this only because I saw Kevin's appearance on "Finding Your Roots" and I recognized some common names of early Quakers in South Jersey from my own family tree.
