I don't remember it getting very good reviews, but my favorite Bertolucci is Besieged. I think it's amazing. Thewlis and Newton are just breathtaking.

I admit to not caring for Stealing Beauty or The Dreamers. I think with The Dreamers and Sheltering Sky I should probably read the books, as I like the stories, but maybe had problems with the films' execution.
