The Skarsgård family’s Swedish heritage was a running joke during a recent Saturday Night Live sketch. The sketch poked fun at the reputation of Scandinavian films for being bleak, stark, and emotionally reserved – a style that began with director Ingmar Bergman in the 1950s and continues today. This was highlighted with a reference to Sentimental Value, a new film starring Stellan Skarsgård as a father reconnecting with his children. In the sketch, Stellan plays a distant father to his on-screen sons, Alexander Skarsgård and SNL cast member Chloe Fineman, in a fictional Norwegian movie called Scent of a Family. The humor came from the contrast between the characters’ cold demeanor in the film and the actors’ surprisingly lively and cheerful behavior between takes.

In a 2013 interview with Vulture, O’Hara explained she left SNL because she disliked living in New York City.
Over the next ten years, many action films – including Extraction, Nobody, and Atomic Blonde – took inspiration from the distinctive action style of the John Wick movies. The films also draw a diverse cast of talent, ranging from established stars like Anjelica Huston and Laurence Fishburne to action movie icons such as Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins.
From horror favorites to musicals and sci-fi romances, each of these movies had the potential to be truly great, but a single misstep held it back. They’re the films that make you wonder what could have been with just one small change – a tweak that could have altered movie history.
