I will not go in lenght on swedish music you know them all well and are household names in pop, rock, metal and prog
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,

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.

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.

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, though

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 |

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

Einojuhani Rautavaara, Jan Johansson, Samla Mammas Manna, Jaga Jazzist
They are reasons enough to go for music.

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
 )

Voted for Literature: I am not fond of most Swedish prog (although I realy like Anekdoten), but I like some of their detectives (Mankell, Sjöwall & Wahlöö).

Yes. He's Finnish and therefore not Scandinavian.

I haven't got his biography at hand, but as far as I know he hasn't even lived in Sweden.

Well,if that's the case. I might as well say that you are right, since we both know way too little about Rautavaara to have an intelligent discussion about him.
Either way, my choice for music still stands.

I think Astrid Lindgern alone movies or books is verry good, I would not mention all, and I can onl relate to the televised shows. but many of them are really good like Emil från lönnebergen, Vi på Saltkråkan, Ronja Röverdotter, Lövhjärte, Pippi, Mio min Mio ( one of the gratest fantasy novels ever), Marikken, mesterdetektiv blomkvist, Brödrana lövhjerta, and Barnan i Backebygeranden...
