Other, but three honourable mentions first:
Nicolas Copernicus did fantastic work, and gave us a great insult which I intend using one day.
Feliks Pawel Jarocki was an ornithologist of some importance, but I won't vote for him as I don't know enough. I'm tempted to though.
King Wladyslaw I (known as 'The Elbow-High') seems to have had his good points from what I recall, but I can't vote again, for the same reason as above.
So it's a fairly predictable one: Krystof Kieslowski, a great film-maker. Apart from the poltical ones, and the Ten Commandments sequence, there is Three Colours: White, truly a masterpiece. He died aged 55, which is a shame.
