"The Edge"

Anthony Hopkins, Alec Baldwin and Elle MacPherson

This movie works on several levels and Hopkins and Baldwin (yeah, I know you hate the guy) are both great.

The Edge is a great film-and I mean no disrespect to the human actors when I say Bart the Bear was the best actor in that film. I swear to God that bear adjusted his facial expressions to suit his role-he actually looked enraged when he was on the attack. Gorgeous bear, great film.

One sorta vaguely like that one (but with lions instead of a bear, and set in Africa not Alaska) is The Ghost in the Darkness. Great film, and based on historical events (albeit embellished...) I own Col Patterson's memoirs, and when I went to the Field Museum in Chicago, I made a point of looking for the taxidermied killer lions on display there.
