Let the Right One In was a great film. I really enjoyed that movie.
Dragon Tattoo also brilliant

Topaz, based on your recommendations of the films I've seen, I will definitely look out for the other films you listed. Thanks.

I've mentioned it before, but I highly recommend "Trollhunter." One of the 10 best movies I've seen this year. Otto Jespersen was magnificent! What a fun movie! There is absoultey nothing corny about it.

in fact, i' ve seen The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and found it really good. the stieg larsson's novels seem to be a guaranty of success, i guess

Oh man, I completely forgot about that movie - it's great! I imagine it's even better if you're from the Norwegian culture and have knowledge about the history of the various trolls, but nonetheless I found it fascinating, thrilling, and entertaining. The giant one at the end was incredible

The part 2 and 3 of Dragon Tattoo films were not nearly as good as the original, but still better than 90% of what comes out of Hollywood these days.

I agree with Trollhunter and Headhunters. Both fun movies. Also check out "The Boss of it All". It's Lars Van Trier, but you'd almost never know it given the light comedic tone.

I watched Let The Right One In recently, excellent movie

I'm not a big fan of thrillers, and certainly not horror, myself.

I remember liking After the Wedding a lot.

And, if memory serves, Italian for Beginners.

And, new, Teddy Bear.

and +1 for Let the Right One In, and +3 for the Dragon Tattoo trilogy. The Swedish version was far superior to the American film.
