Kult Korner - Swedish Cult Canon
Min personliga uppfattning om en kanon för svenska kultfilmer. Föreslå gärna filmer du tycker borde läggas till eller tas bort. Definitionen är ganska svajig; en kultfilm på den här listan kan vara antingen en film som inte är en bred klassiker men ändå har en hängiven beundrarskara, eller en film med allmänt stört innehåll, möjligtvis också med galna historier från inspelningen. Miniserier är tillåtna. Titlarna är listade efter utgivningsår.
My subjective idea of a Swedish cult film canon. Feel free to suggest movies you think should be added or removed. The definition is pretty inconsistent; a cult film on this list could be either a film that is not a mainstream classic but still has a devoted fan base, or a film with generally subversive content, potentially also with outrageous stories from behind the scenes. Mini-series are allowed. Titles are listed chronologically.
Hedersomnämnanden: Jag är nyfiken-filmerna (för erkända), Spermaharen-DVD:n (inte en film), dokumentären som inspirerade Torsk på Tallinn (kunde inte hitta namnet), Kapten Grogg och Kalle på negerbal (inte tillgänglig), pilsnerfilm i allmänhet (för svepande), Getaway in Stockholm och Ghost Rider (saknas på IMDb)

The film centres around a panel; Inge and Sten Hegeler, Maj-Brith Bergstroem-Walan and Sture Cullhed, all well known, reputable experts, who have devoted their scientific studies to the various fields of sexual life. The film deals with all kinds of problems connected with the sexual relationship of people. Whilst every question is discussed by the panel., the film illustrates; the difference between male and female sexual organs and their functions, positions, and authentic coition whereby a split screen system is used enabling us to see the various reactions in different parts of the body. In connection with this as well as in other parts of the film, diagrams and animations are used to simplify the understanding of the complicated reactions which occur when a person is under sexual stimulus. The panel also discusses the role of sex in society, the question of prejudices and taboos, sex in clothes, sex in art, etc. etc.
