I've read that many people are looking for movies with English subtitles. Officially (in Poland) on DVD there are movies:
- Sami swoi (1967) - directed by Chęciński
- Jak rozpetalem II wojne swiatowa (1970) - by Chmielewski
- Wesele (2002?) - by Smarzowski
- Czterej pancerni i pies (Tv Series 1966) - by Nałęcki
- Stawka większa niż życie (TV Series 1968) - by Konic, Morgenstern
- Poszukiwany poszukiwana (1972) - by Bareja
- Żona dla australijczyka (1964) - by Bareja
- Brunet wieczorową porą (1976) - by Bareja
- Co mi zrobisz jak mnie złapiesz (1978) - by Bareja
- Kanał (1956) - by Wajda
- Popiół i diament (1958) - by Wajda
- Lotna (1960) - by Wajda
- Wesele (1972) - by Wajda
- Do widzenia do jutra (1960) - by Morgenstern
- Wajda collection (including Man of Iron and others)

Since you started this thread, here's a list of my haphazard collection of Polish movies on DVDs, with the indication which of them have English (and sometimes other) language version (subtitles).

My favorite Polish movie is: Noz w Wodzie (Knife in Water), 1962, black and white with English sub-titles. I believe it was Roman Pulanski's first movie, and what a great movie it is. Filmed in the lakes region in Pomerania.

Jolanta Umecka... quite beautiful.

The only Polish movie I have, with English subtitles, is Dzień Świra (2002).

OH, this might be the thread for me. I have discovered Kieślowski and Zamachowski, but limited here in the US. I have Dekaloge and Trois Coleurs, with subtitles, at the university library here, but other Zamachowski movies... where do I find his films subtitled in English? Why do Americans not know about this wonderful 'aktor'? Any help would be great. Also, found an interview with Kieślowski on the YouTube, and now I understand why I am more attuned with this Eastern European culture more than my own....Anyone out there, please send me some good news. I am lonely for some real conversation.

I have two Polish films with English subtitles.

"Ulica Graniczna" ("Border Street") a story of families and friendships on both sides of the Warsaw Ghetto wall, and "Major Hubal" a story about the Polish soldier-hero of WWII.

I just saw new editions of two cult commedies, Rejs (rather difficult for foreigners, based on absurd humour, word games and nonsense of the life under the communist regime, no real plot, or rather a plot that mostly serves to as a carrier for the jokes).
The other one is Seksmisja.

The new, special editions cost about 50 zloty (17$ or 13 Euro), and unlike the previous editions (by the same release company, Best Film) DO HAVE English subtitles (plus Polish subtitles for hearing impaired). The video aspect is still 4:3, I don't know why they didn't bother to make a transfer to widescreen :(
