Scandinavian cinema

Its retarded how they translated Girl With The Dragons Tattoo... its actually named "Men Who Hate Women" in swedish, and they should have used that in English countries tbh, as this first movies isnt so much about Lisbeth but another story.

I watched it in Swedish and subtitled, as it should be.

Any good torrent for Lilja 4-ever? It's not on TorrentLeech

I googled "lilja 4-ever torrent" and got a ton of hits. Can't really test em' here at work though

Riget is very good, much better than the american remake "Kingdom hospital".

And can't really be compared to most of lars von triers other movies.

Lars Von Trier is so overrated,..

the hater is back! jk

I just thought of another good movie that I've seen over and over. It's Swedish and called "Jägarna" ("The hunters" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0116736/). It's about the rather special small northen communities (Devlin could've been starring!) and speficially hunters/poaching. A hunter's brother (police officer) comes back up from Stockholm, to see stuff he probably wouldn't want to see..

Thanks for the many replies. Any more? These wont last too long

As for mini-series, I recommend you see "Riget" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108906/).
This show had a cult stamp while it was still being aired.. Very creepy show recorded at Denmarks largest hospital with some of Scandinavias best actors, at the time. Unfortunately for you, it's directed by Lars Von Trier Even if you don't like his more recent work, you shouldn't miss out on this one!

I watched the riget with original dub and english subs. Vid was crappy quality but it was so good that i wished trier to make more series. Btw its not that i dont like trier - bergman, its just that i watched many of their movies (i think all of trier's).

"I Kina spiser de hunde" ("In China they eat dogs" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0180748/)
Genious Danish action/comedy about two very different brothers' "adventure". Kind of the same style as "Pusher", that was mentioned earlier..
Some of the best Danish cast to-date doing a great job in this one

For me personally, there are two films from scandinavia during the last decade that really stands out (english titles):

Let the right one in (Sweden 2008)
Open Hearts (Denmark 2002)

However, no one beats Ingmar Bergman. We've had a few other good ones, but no one like him.

Police thrillers are (unfortunately) incredibly popular in Sweden. If you are going to see one, make sure it is Man on the Roof (1976). It has aged very well.
