#2I don't see Zbignew Cybulski's Ashes and Diamonds, but there are a few others selections from the "polish james dean". It's amazing how difficult it is to stream deep cinema online from any of the online services. For example, Criterion Collection will have Milos Forman's Fireman's Ball & Loves of a Blonde, but not Black Peter. One is sort of left scrounging bits of ephemera on YT ;)

#5I recommend "Blind Chance". It follows three storylines about a man trying to catch a train where different events cause his life to unfold differently. It really makes you think about all the small events that have occurred in your life that snowball to make you who you are.

Very good recommendation. I was taken to this movie by my (secondary school, I believe) teacher.
It really moved me, although I don't agree with suggestion that movie is making: staying neutral is the worst choice you can make.
Especially in communist Poland it was probably best choice to avoid jail/torture/execution and shame of collaboration at the same time.

Pretty much everything directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski is worth watching.

Second this! Also other early films by Kieślowski: Amateur, No End, A Short film about love, A short film about killing.
