I really enjoy Scandinavian crime thrillers/murder mysteries. Does anyone have recommendations for good films that are similar to this?

So far I've seen:
Headhunters (2011)
Insomnia (1997)
Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Trilogy
The Hunters/Jägama (1996)
Loft
Nightwatch (1994)
Man on the Roof (1976)
Smilla's Sense of Snow (1997)
Lilya 4-Ever (2002)
The Keeper of Lost Causes (2013)

TV Series:
Wallander
Forbrydelsen/The Killing (2007-12)
Bron/Broen (2011-15)
Annika Bengtzon (2012)
Puck Ekstedt (Maria Lang "Crimes of Passion" series)
Dicte (2012-)
Arne Dahl (2011-15)
Blå ögon/Blue Eyes (2014-15)
Bedrag/Follow the Money (2016)
Borgen (2010-13)
Ófærð/Trapped (2015)
Beck (1997-2016)
Den fördömde/Sebastian Bergman (2010-13)

I'm not quite as interested in gangster/mob related thrillers as I am with murder mysteries....Anyone have more recommendations?

Jackpot (aka Arme Riddere) is a blackly comic crime thriller that is similar in tone to In Order of Disappearance.

I've not seen them but Jägarna (The Hunters) and Jägarna 2 (False Trail) starring the original Wallander, Rolf Lassgård, received good reviews.

Hope this helps a little.

Snabba Cash is definitely no comedy, but it's enjoyable (it's Swedish).

Snabba Cash is actually awesome and very much worth a look. Even the follow up's are pretty damn good.

And someone mentioned Flaskepost fra P which is great, but iff you watch that you should definitely see parts one and two of the "Q department series" first : Kvinden i buret and Fasandræberne. Especially part one is amazing and for me these films are at least on a par, but possibly even beyond the millenium trilogy films.

Also worth mentioning is the Johan Falk series which consists of two pretty good seasons (co starring Joel Kinnaman), but these are preceded by three great films made with the same lead aproximately 15 years ago.
