'An orphan bear cub hooks up with an adult male as they try to dodge human hunters.'
pretty edgy for a kids movie

the ending is really bad and dumb and has william h. macy screaming mountains of exposition for no reason :[

can't figure out why he takes his name off ronin but leaves it on hannibal and hoffa.

He didn't want to share credit for the screenplay of Ronin. It's vanity, not the quality of the product.
Spartan, btw. I have an irrational love for that movie.
"Never go into the desert."
It also has one of my favourite taglines of all time.

I've seen it multiple times and I can't put my finger on why it should stand apart. It's the same theme (masculinity morality in an immoral world etc...) he's been on for a while I think. It's just done well.
Also State & Main is really, really underrated.

Surprised how many of these I've seen. voting GGR. am I the only one who liked Redbelt?

I liked Redbelt.

I guess it's kind of a lightweight compared to most of these, but curious to see if it gets a vote or two

Not a big fan of the guy as director (though he did a great job with "The Winslow Boy," that odd year when both Mamet and Lynch made G-rated movies). I do, however, have a soft spot for "The Edge" and "The Untouchables," as Hollywood pay-the-bills scripts (it's Mamet, really, that won Sean Connery his Oscar). Don't know what to make of the fact that his wives are inevitably the weak link of his auteur works, but really like "The Spanish Prisoner," and "GGR" might be the rarest of adaptations: a playwright adapts his own play and makes it better.
