3. Rosemary's baby is the only one I've ever seen

5. I have four of these on DVD.
Repulsion, Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and The Pianist. The one that I watch most often is Chinatown. So I voted for Chinatown.

6. "Chinatown" is revered amongst screenwriters
a major screenwriting "you gotta take this guys class" teacher uses it and Casablanca as ideals of the art.

8. Insofar as art is concerned, I am a dilettante. Business and law degrees.
But I know what I like. And I like Chinatown. Color me unsurprised.

7. I voted "Tenant", because it had no votes
It's hard to watch.

Not only do you get to watch someone go insane, you get taken along for the ride.

11. That one is worthy of a Broadway musical adaptation-
I'd like to see how the art of stagecraft treats the ballroom mirror sequence.

14. "Tenant"
is very very weird. And very very good. Scary, too. Watch it if you can. It's not exactly uplifting though, which isn't a big surprise.
