I'd like to watch some scandinavian movies and greatly appreciate some advice. Can be any genre and any time period. Though i dont like to watch very old movies unless they are somewhat fucking great :). No lars von trier and Ingmar bergman ones...
Also can be mini tv series too.

After i had watched Let The Right One In i wanted to kill myself... Cause i thought it was so bad, i dont rly know what foreign film critics like about it...

I could recommend the movies called Pusher from denmark starring Mads Mikkelsen.

Pusher: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117407/

Pusher 2: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0396184/

I guess "Festen" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0154420/) is one of the best movies from denmark in recent times.

"Blinkende" lygter is one of the funniest, but im not sure how well it translates to other languages(http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0236027/

Bears like alts!

I strongly recomend these movies

Evil: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338309/

The Seventh Seal: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050976/

Last one is old but its a classic that atleast every swede should watch once in life.

If pluto isnt a planet because its a dwarf, does that mean dwarfs aint people?

Everyone can't have good taste - it's ok!

I recommend you see "Lilja 4-ever" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0300140/).
A very good movie about how a Eastern-European 16-year-old girl comes to Sweden for a better life. What she arrives to is the fucked up sex-underworld.. This one caught a lot of attention when it was released, and put a lot of focus on the trafficing and prostitution that occurs in Sweden.

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!

Probably Norway's most well known movie, atleast it's a regular during christmas for most nortards. Never seen it with english voices though, it's root to many norwegian daily expressions atleast!

Lilja-4Ever is an OK film, but i still think Lukas Modyssons best movie is "Together", a very funny but still a serious movie.

Together: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0203166/

Also if you have seen "Bruno" and then watch "Together" then you will recognize the ginger assistent from "Bruno" in it :P

I've heard Riget is funny, also watched Girl With The Dragoin Tattoo recently (does that count?) it was quite good.
