Mads Mikkelsen has been in a lot of decent danish movies. Would recommend looking up movies he has acted in.
Most Thomas Vinterberg is quite good.
‘Addams apples’ is a must
Drengene fra Sankt Petri is an amazing movie about WW2
“Adam’s æbler”, “blinkende lygter”, “de grønne slagtere”, all of the “afdeling q” films, “druk”, “men og høns” (its very weird but still a good movie, also it’s a little complex so it might not be a beginner film),
Action and thriller: “retfærdighedens ryttere”, “i Kina spiser de hunde”, “NordVest”, “Underverdenen”.
Drama(probably the most like the hunt): “Bænken”, “midt om natten”, “speak no evil”(it’s in english but still a good horror drama),
a little insane comedies I watched as a kid: “Terkel i knibe”, “rejsen til Saturn”, “ronal barbaren”
These are my favorite Danish movies
Blinkende Lygter / Flickering Lights
The Hunt Two: Electric Boogaloo
Flammen og citronen
You’d probably like Druk/Another Round and Festen/The Celebration
Queen of hearts / Dronningen
Onkel
Dronningen / Queen of hearts
Ternet Ninja / Checkered Ninja
Bænken
If there were an Oscar for coughing…
If you like this film and the uncomfortable subject then ‘Festen’ (‘The Celebration’) by the same director is the natural choice. And it’s a great film. ‘Druk’ (‘Another Round’) also by the same director and starring Mads Mikkelsen is also great.
I also want to recommend ‘Pusher’
“Drømmen”
Kunsten at græde i kor
Sorte Kugler / Black Balls. Terkel i knibe / Terkel in Trouble. It’s just really sad most of all these gem movies loses a LOT in translation. Most of the humour just isn’t the same, especially if they’ve been dubbed over as well.
Land of mine
Mandatory “Olsenbanden” recommendation.
Duksedrengen
Ah ok den er nok lidt for dansk og de fleste her vil nok ikke kende til den.
Dronningen from 2019 with Trine Dyrholm
Riders of justice
Harry and the butler.
An old film about humanity, friendship and finding your own way in life.
