Can you recommend some good Swedish movies and TV shows? Preferably ones I can obtain for free somehow, and have English or Swedish subtitles available.

Hm. Swedish movies/shows with swedish subtitles. Does that even exist? It exists for English, which was great to learn some English.

Any movie directed by Josef Fares. Kops, Jalla Jalla, Farsan. All brilliant observations of Sweden from an outsiders perspective. All avalible with english sub titles.

Almost all Swedish film DVDs have Swedish subtitles and if you are in Sweden, you can pick lots up cheap (10 to 20 kr) from charity shops, flea markets, etc. Some of the long running TV series are on DVD, most but not all with Swedish subtitles. Later Becks and Wallanders have Swedish and English sub titles, many going cheap now. And if your taste isnt for detectives the Änglagård trilogy with Helena Bergström is fun.

When it comes to TV shows you could check out Solsidan and Så mycket bättre. One thing you should do when looking for Swedish movies is to check out the ones made by Ingmar Bergman. Old but really good. After that there is a bunch of good ones;

Let the Right One In (Låt den Rätta Komma In) - 2008
Togheter (Tillsamans) - 2000
My Life as a Dog (Mitt Liv som Hund) - 1985
The Emigrants (Utvandrarna) - 1971
Songs from the Second Floor (Sånger från Andra Våningen) - 2000
Evil (Ondskan) - 2003
As it is in Heaven (Så som i Himmeln) - 2004
Hunters (Jägarna) - 1996
