While Sweden does have a fantastic film industry, most of the popular films are blockbusters from Hollywood or equivalent. Since most Swedes speak more-or-less perfect English, it is relatively easy for them to understand films in English. As a result, almost no films are dubbed in Swedish. Instead, Swedes prefer subtitles and often mock the few dubs that have been produced, such as the Swedish dub of Harry Potter och de vises sten<\/em> – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s (Philosopher’s) Stone<\/em>. (Hermione is known for having a very snobby Stockholm accent. Not that all Stockholm accents are snobby – just hers!) Also, being unaccustomed to dubs, most Swedes think dubbing makes films feel unnatural.<\/p>\n

When you go on your first date with a Swede (or otherwise go to the cinema, an afterwork, a fika<\/em>, a party, etc.) at a fancy restaurant in central Stockholm, you might want to be able to talk about your favorite films. Lucky for you, here are some useful phrases for a movie conversation compiled in a list for you to learn! Your Swedish date will surely be impressed.<\/p>\n
