I've seen it.
It's definitely the greatest Swedish silent film and one of the best films ever made in Sweden, period. I like the director Victor Sjöström quite a bit, and he was excellent as Isak Borg in Bergman's Wild Strawberries. Still, I believe there are Bergman films that are arguably as good or better. Körkarlen being called Sweden's greatest film is by no means insulting to one's intelligence though. Heh.
