submit to reddit

A friend sent me this list: "A Swedish film magazine conducted a poll with film critics and such to determine the all-time best Swedish films." Hey look, Moodysson is on it. And Bergman is not #1. Why isn't Bergman #1? Why didn't they consult me, their honorary citizen? Sjöström? It's those darn "ö" isn't it?
