What can i say ....... i have complex taste in movies. I watched a lot of Ingmar Bergman when i was very young and even enjoyed some of them. i saw Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker when i was about 12 and it stuck in my head forever.
So i have always watch a lot of 'world' and 'art house' movies
Seen Dead Snow .... narrowly avoided spraying tea all over my keyboard and monitor a few times
liked it gory and very silly.
Kill Buljo sounds interesting ...... i'll look that one up. thanks.
Arn looks good ..... i just won't invite my m8 mahmoud round for that one :P
Seen all the Stieg Larsson (Millennium) Movies great films.
Seen a few of Lars von Trier's movies 'the Idiots' and such, i like DaFoe so maybe check this Antichrist out.
Kind of surprised you didn't mention 'Låt den rätte komma' (Let the Right One In) I loved it. Didn't you like it or did you figure its had so much exposure, no need to mention it??
Slightly off the reservation since we are talking Nordlander movies.
But for those who have not seen or heard of it i strongly recommend 'Man Bits Dog' http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103905/ which is a movie from Belguim. Both hilarious and outrageously violent.

I read the book. It was excellent and really memorable, so I was really afraid that the movie would ruin all that. I did that mistake by watching Lord of the rings after reading the book.
If you say that Låt den rätte komma is a very good movie, then I will take a chance and check it out.

Bro ..... seriously its a fuckin' masterpiece !!!!
I haven't read the book, but the movie is amazing 8.1 on Imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139797/
I just cannot recommend it enough, it completely transcends the horror, vamp movie genre.
Until Låt den rätte komma The Hunger and Near Dark where my all time top vamp movies, but Låt den rätte komma blows both out of the water ..... even though its not REALLY a vamp movie.

i agree "Låt den rätte komma" is a great movie. the American remake looks like crap though. by "The Hunger" are you referring to the David Bowie version? if so i would say that's better than Låt den rätte komma". "Near Dark" hmm not familiar with that. i keep thinking of the game, Perfect Dark. lol
just scoped out a trailer for Near Dark- that's pretty cheesy. you would be better served watching "The Lost Boys". Bram Stoker's "Dracula" still owns the vampire genre.

Yeah 'The Hunger' with Bowie in his best acting role ever ..... though prefer to think of it as a Scott bros movie, since they directed and produced it. Truly a great movie one of the top 3 vamp movies of all time, no doubt.
I'll give you a break on 'Near Dark' since you haven't seen it, so you don't know what your talking about ....... but it is an awesome vamp movie, where a lot of the southern trailer trash vamp ideas for true blood came from IMHO. It is very dark very gritty, very trailer trash, and not really sexy or alluring at all. Early work by director Kathryn Bigelow ( Point break, Hurt locker, recent oscar ). See it them come back and comment authoritatively.
'Lost boys' is teen cheese i'd rather see the original 'Buffy the vampire slayer' (which is a great laugh).
Coppolas 'Bram Stokers Dracula' is good features some of the nicest form cut/transitions i have ever seen in a movie, easily best Dracula movie ever. But its crippled by Keanu Reeves appallingly bad Brit accent, and Coppola letting Anthony Hopkins ham it up like its pantomime season.
Oh yeah USA remake of 'Låt den rätte komma' (Let the Right One In) isn't exactly crap but it is SO exactly like the Swedish but just trimmed down a bit and with Americans speaking English. It brings nothing new to the table and all the good things about it are taken photocopy style from the original ...... i was kind of incensed that it has had such good reviews on Imdb not that it doesn't deserve them, but it was obvious no one commenting had seen the original. It doesn't just ride on the shoulders of 'Låt den rätte komma' it stands on its head.
