Chinatown very close # 2 (if I took more time to think, may have picked Chinatown.)

PS there are no earlier (features anyway)  Polish films

you also missed "Cul De Sac" which is better than any others except Repulsion which is #3
:p

Voted "Fearless Vampire Killers" for the poll, as the only other one on the list I have watched is Pirates, a film which sits in the "so bad it's good category".

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.
Winner of THE grumbler point.

Fearless Vampire Killers since it is even better than the films it parodies  :)

Macbeth (despite the butchered ending), followed by Chinatown and Rosemary's Baby.

I was just going off the IMDB list, didn't check to see if they were shorts or not.

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.

Rosemary's Baby?  Meh.  Exorcist pwn3d it and set the bar for Satan shit.

While I agree that Rosemary's Baby is over-rated, and that The Exorcist is a much better film, you do know that Rosemary's Baby came out 5 years earlier, right?
