Oh man, I almost had it, I was just researching it.
I was going to say:
1. Wojtciech Pszoniak in "Kill the Priest" w/ Christopher Lambert (haven't seen it yet, but I hear it's good)
2. Christopher Lambert in Highlander w/ Sean Connery (classic!)
3. Sean Connery in Never Say never Again w/ Kim Basinger (another classic)
and from this point on I would follow Mermaid from her previous post:

Life / Must See Movies in Polish? [65]
In my movie library I have only one film in Polish, but it's a good one: "The Saragossa Manuscript" (1965).
The Saragossa Manuscript was a favorite movie of Jerry Garcia, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola. They bought the rights to this movie and restored it in the 90's.
The movie is a multilevel collection of "stories within a story", similar to the Pulp Fiction, with many simultaneous time-lines and narrators.

Work / Average Polish Income is 2700zl per month [65]
you can't rely on official statistics when it comes to things like the income. The true income is always higher. I just looked up the median income in Michigan - it says $48000/year per household.
Let me tell you something - i don't know anybody who makes this little here. nobody. I can't imagine anybody surviving on 48K per family. But these statistics include people on welfare with free housing and food stamps, soldiers, retirees, single people who live along, and - most importantly people who don't want to pay any taxes, who in fact hide their true income. Between me and my wife we make almost 3x that and trust me- we are not wealthy by any means!
So if they say 2700 count it as at least double; plus you have cheaper cost of living etc.

My hope is one day when the standard of living and the economy get better, maybe then things shall change?
Yeah I noticed the level of nationalism is similar to the one in former Yugoslavia after the fall of communism. Thank God Poland is a country without national or religious minorities. Who knows what would have happened then.

They live in wretched neighbourhoods, in wretched accomodation with wretched jobs so all they have to hang on their chest with pride is that they are white and therefore superior and justified in attacking non-whites.

IMO Global Warming will affect Poland’s economy in a big way. There are IPCC plans to put a $30-$100 tax on every ton of CO2 and coal is the biggest CO2 polluter out of all the energy sources used by man today. Coal has been a pillar of Poland's economy, that's why taxes on CO2 will hurt them so much. Unfortunately, unless some radical steps are taken now, this will surely throw Poland down the bankruptcy path.
