Tacks mycket, Jeff.
Anette Herbert Mar 2, 2006:
In that case,I believe they are just films for sale, I can't find any reference to a particular name,on the web or in the UK. I think that is a Swedish peculiarity, to give the name köpfilm as opposed to hyrfilm. See my agree below.
Jeff Skinner (asker) Mar 2, 2006:
The term comes from a yearly financial report, and is listed in their assets under "Inventory". I also looked them up on the Web, and to me it's pretty clear these are films they're selling to customers.
Anette Herbert Mar 1, 2006:
Hi Jeff, Is it clear whether these films are films the company has bought, or films they are selling? It makes a difference in English I would say.

Peer comment(s):

agree Anette Herbert : You are right I believe, I think it's only in Sweden we give these films a special name, but according to this classification they are just films for sale http://72.14.207.104/search?q=cache:mKUOtEsgD_8J:www.qp.gov....

Films to buy

though in a financial report, I'm not sure if it should be 'Bought films' instead. in Swedish we differ between hyrfilm (films to rent) and köpfilm (films to buy)
