Last Tango in Paris (1972) manages to avoid the pitfalls of what could have been a very cheap exploitation of a film centered around steamy sex and carnal lust.

Written and directed by the great Bernardo Bertolucci, this one is remembered for Marlon Brando's ambitious performance and his ability to perfectly counter Maria Schneider's sultry youth. In the end, this is a quality film and a European arthouse classic from the great 1970s film era.
