What are you impying, j.handsome? The Edge is an excellent film.
And as much of a huge Soderbergh fan I am, I must grudgingly admit he somewhat belongs in this thread. Out Of Sight, The Limey, Erin Brockovich, Traffic, Ocean's 11, Solaris...nothing connecting these films whatsoever except his Tarantino-esque jumpy narratives and trademark cinematography tricks. At least Soderbergh has a pretty consistent visual look to each of his films...
Howzabout Stephen Herek? Critters, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adenture, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, The Three Musketeers ('93 version), Mr. Holland's Opus, 101 Dalmatians ('96 version), Life Or Something Like It...pretty schitzophrenic filmography.
