Roman Polanski was born in France in 1933 of Polish parents. Even though he only had 5 films make the top 1000, he still is ranked 17th in overall points, as he had four films in the top 200. He's probably better known for his personal life, which is a shame, he's still a top director in the pantheon of cinema.
These are all the films of Polanski’s films that made the top 1000 in our 2011 update

Salaam Bombay!, a Cinematic Masterpiece
Friday, May 1, 2009
I've just seen (twice) and reviewed Mira Nair's first feature film, Salaam Bombay! - made in 1988 after she had made five documentaries.
