It's funny how people say Swedish movies are awesome when most everyone in Sweden agrees that Swedish movies suck. Probably because all our shit movies never make it out of the country. Be glad you never get to see our Göta Kanal sequels, our numerous endless cop movie series, our attempts at comedy...
Låt Den Rätte Komma In (Let The Right One In/Let Me In) should be on any list of awesome Swedish movies however. Even the American remake is pretty good.
As for my top 3 movies... it's tough. Hard to compare, say, Life of Brian with, say, Inception. So I'm going to make a whole bunch of lists.
