In a small bowl combine sugar, melted butter, lime juice, and cinnamon. Brush bananas with about 1/4 cup of butter mixture.
Place bananas on center of cooking grate. Grill 2 to 4 minutes, turning once halfway through grilling. Slice grilled bananas and place slices in a flameproof dish. Pour remaining 1/2 cup butter mixture into dish. Place dish on center of cooking grate. Cook 5 minutes.
Remove dish from grill. Quickly pour rum over bananas. Light rum with long kitchen matches. After flames die out, serve immediately over ice cream.

Wine Recommendation: A sweet dessert wine will know just how to coddle the butter and rum, or a sweeter Gewürztraminer will make a great companion to the bananas.
Beer Recommendation: For your flaming dessert, a sip of stout. For the best match, pick one from the Caribbean.
