Editing Benny Andersson (section)

===Film music===
Andersson has written music to several films for screen and television; the first attempt in the early 1970s for the Swedish erotica movie ''The Seduction of Inga''; the film was not a success, but the 'Björn & Benny' single "She's My Kind of Girl" surprised the composers by being released in Japan and becoming a Top 10 hit (the song renamed in Japan as "The Little Girl of the Cold Wind").

In 1987, Andersson wrote music and co-produced the soundtrack with Anders Eljas for the film ''[[Mio in the Land of Faraway]]'', based on Swedish author [[Astrid Lindgren]]s ''[[Mio, My Son]]''. The title song became a huge hit in Sweden for [[Gemini (Swedish band)|Gemini]].

In 2000, he wrote the music for fellow Swede (no relation) [[Roy Andersson]]'s film ''[[Songs from the Second Floor]]'' (the music later re-recorded, featuring new lyrics, with BAO! with vocals by Helen Sjöholm). He also wrote the theme for Roy Andersson's next film, ''[[You, the Living]]'', from 2007.

Andersson worked on the film adaptation of ''Mamma Mia!''. He also wrote the film score for the 2012 documentary ''[[Palme (film)|Palme]]'' about Swedish prime minister [[Olof Palme]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/film-tv/filmare-spanar-in-personen-palme/ |title=Filmare spanar in personen Palme |newspaper=Dagens Nyheter |date= 7 September 2012|access-date=27 June 2013}}</ref> He later won a [[Guldbagge Award]] for Best Original Score, for that film at the [[48th Guldbagge Awards]].<ref name="sydsvenskan">{{cite web|title=Nomineringarna till Guldbaggen|url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur--nojen/nomineringarna-till-guldbaggen/|work=Sydsvenskan|language=sv|access-date=3 January 2013}}</ref>
