I've read the Stig Larsson 'Dragon Tattoo' (etc) novels & found them all excellent reads; the movie adaptations were well done, too (not sure why Hollywood now want to remake them for an English speaking audience, though )

Sweden and Scandinavia is not the same, then I could include Ibsen, Hamsun, HC Anderson, Tove Jansson, Soren Kirkegaard, Holdberg, Roald Dahl, and many others

Movies: I'm definitely not bog on Scandinavian movies (yes I know, I widen the spectrum and I even include Iceland and Finland in my reflection), especially not Bergamann .... They're usually boring (Begmann) or depressing....
 
If I don't mind depressive in music, it's definitely not what I'm looking for in movies
 
Literrature: Don't know much about that either
 
 
So obviously it's music for me (that includes ther finnish Sibelius)
 
 
 
You might have widened the field of choice with painting & sculpture, thoughWink
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I haven't read any Swedish literature, but since Ingmar Bergman is a god among men it's so hard not to vote for film.

Ingmar Bergman is one of my favourite creators of any kind so film gets my vote. Music comes second. I haven't read much Swedish literature, but Selma Lagerloff's Nils Holgersson was one of my favourite books in my early years. But I read it after I saw the annimated series, which I loved, so that also brings a bonus point to film. Tongue

in movies you have Ingmar Bergman, Skarsgård, Stormare, Zydow, Greta Garbo
 
in literature you have Stig Larsson, Jan Guillou, Henning Mankell, Astrid Lingren and works like the Millienium trillogi, the Temple Night trilogie, Wallander, Pippi Longstocking, Mio my Mio,
