The Millennium series:
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
The Girl Who Played With Fire
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest
Having read the books and seen the Swedish movies first, I prefer the original Swedish version of "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" to the Hollywood version. The third book in the series and the movie thereof, "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest" is my pick of the bunch. "Tattoo" stands alone as a story but "Hornets Nest" follows on from "The Girl Who Played With Fire" so it's better to watch those in order.
Subsequently there has been a fourth book. When the author Stieg Larsson died, he did not leave a will so everything went to his family. His long term partner got nowt. Unsurprisingly she was pissed off. She had a laptop containing an unfinished fourth book though and in due course she approached a friend of Larsson's to finish that book, this became "The Girl In The Spiders Web". If the Swedes haven't made a movie of that book yet they may have a problem, the actor who plays Blomqvist the main male character in the series, died a few months ago.
Reportedly there is now a fifth book but as yet I haven't read that. Something to look forward to, but Akzle, check out "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest" it's well worth a look.
All three are available on Netflix for those that have it.
