Roman Polanski

Yea yea, I know a lot of people are mad at him (get over it) but since its fresh in peoples minds, lets discuss the Films of this great director. Any movie in particular that sticks out for you? Do you think he is over hyped? Are you guilty of having no idea who im talking about? Try to keep this topic to his films and not his personal life please.

I am guilty of not seeing as many of his films as I should, although I have seen a few (Rosemary's Baby, Frantic, and a few others). One film in particular that I really do want to see is "Repulsion". I have heard that its just fantastic. Another movie I always think about picking up whenever I go into a movie store is "Chinatown".

Feel free to share.

while "Chinatown", "Frantic" and "The Pianist" remain his masterpieces, even his bad films (like The Ninth Gate) are better than many directors' best. I still think he has at least one more masterpiece in him.

bottom line: if he's not one of the ten all-time best directors, then he's near the top of the next ten.

Id say top 50 for sure.

I think he got 26 on E weekly, but there list usually arent that great anyway.
