Hmmm, is it Mitt liv som hund? I don't know the english name ... but my guess is that it's My life as a dog. It sounds logical. :)

I know that one, isn't that the one with the little boy dreaming about Laika the spacedog in his gardenshed? Or something like that, it's been a while since I've seen it =)

A dutch television channel often broadcasts swedish films.

Donnie Darko is awesome by the way!

I think it's that one, but I'm not 100 per cent certain. I've only seen parts of the movie, not everything at once ... and what I have seen is, sadly, mostly forgotten. :)
Donnie Darko is awesome by the way!
Amen to that. It would come very, very high on my top-ten favorite movies. The atmosphere, the plot, the music ... everything is perfect. :D

Donnie Darko is indeed great :D

Some other movies in the same style:

Headspace
25-year-old Alex Borden is handsome, charming, and intelligent. In fact, he may be too smart for his own good as his life is swiftly becoming a living hell. Alex's nightmare begins when he meets Harry, a mysterious artist and chess-master. Alex becomes alarmed when his intellect mysteriously begins to grow, and so do the horrors that invade his nightmares, and soon his waking hours. Long-suppressed memories surface and Alex must face the terrors of his violent past, a vanished older brother, a father who abandoned both his sons, and a mother who was viciously murdered. The visions intensify and he begins to experience intense headaches that ultimately cause him to blackout. But it is only the beginning of Alex's calamity. Friends and neighbors are disappearing, and people are whispering rumors of a serial killer. Menaced from all sides by the forces of evil, Alex must overcome his past and contain his own deadly urges so he can hopefully discover what demons, both real and imagined, are stalking him.

Primer
At night and on weekends, four men in a suburban garage have built a cottage industry of error-checking devices. But, they know that there is something more. There is some idea, some mechanism, some accidental side effect that is standing between them and a pure leap of innovation. And so, through trial and error they are building the device that is missing most. However, two of these men find the device and immediately realize that it is too valuable to market. The limit of their trust in each other is strained when they are faced with the question, If you always want what you can't have, what do you want when you can have anything?

Nice. :)

I have never heard of them. I'll check them out. If they are even half as good as Donnie Darko they are worth seeing. :D

Edit: Forgot a of. :(
