20. Little Buddha (1993)
Bernardo Bertolucci, deep into his picturesque international film-making phase, portrays the search for a reincarnated lama to insipid effect. But who better to play Siddhartha in the film’s flashbacks than Keanu Reeves, taking kohl and hair extensions in his stride, not to mention repurposing a king cobra for use as an umbrella?
