What is # 1?

The Pianist is the only one I've seen in modern times.

Did you time travel to 240 B.C. or something to see the others?

I think the only Polanski movie I've seen was Macbeth, which didn't exactly thrill me.

I have never liked his movies, I have watched only one of them from start to finish, 'Chinatown'. 'Fearless Vampire Killers' had some mildly fun jokes but I didn't watch the ending (can't remember exactly why, it was many years ago). 'Chinatown'  had good acting and started quite well, but then the story drifted until the ending, which was just awful IMHO, rushed and failed.

??? not confusing in the least.

??? It's not confusing, it's too fast (rushed) and avoids a real conclusion killing one of the protagonists almost by accident. And somehow the original story of corruption and fraud gets completely forgotten along the way, if my memory doesn't fail me.

I am quite shoked at some of the Chinatown comments, and suggest another viewing.

Evelyn Cross-Mulwray's death is not an accident.

I am struck by a small amount of irony between RP's towering masterpiece Chinatown and his current situation.  Consider Chinatown's thematic narrative and Polanski's position.  Just to be clear, I'm comparing his actions to Noah Cross, not Evelyn Cross-Mulwray.

It does.

My favorite is his upcoming film: Roman Polanski stars and directs his memoirs: Assrape in Prison or Why Karma Is a Bitch to Child rapists.

Stole my line, motherfucker.

I'd rather be a Detroit ghetto dweller thank you very much.
