Thread: any good finnish movies to watch?

I have Star Wreck In the Pirkinning and Talvisota which are both very good Finnish movies.

Star Wreck is very funny and has a witty humour about it.

Talvisota is about the Winter War and is very dramatic and very real.

Hope this helps.

thanks a lot for all the suggestions! Hopefully I can find some of those movies around here or at the finnish church. they have couple of movies and books that you can borrow. :]

I'd recommend "Jadesoturi"
There's mixed Chinese Kung Fu and Kalevala XD

These are very good:

pahat pohjat
Aidesta Parhain
Lupaus
Matti
paha maa
Sibelius
Jadesoturi
Star Wreck In the Pirkinning
Man Without a Past
Täällä Pohjantahden alla (is an interesting view on the early days of independence and civil war experiences; Unfortunately no subtitles)

War movies:
Tuntematon Sotilas (new and old)
Rukajarven tie
Etulinjan edessa
Talvisota

There are alot of Aki Kaurismaki movies out there, but some are a little weird/morbid, like for example "the match factory girl".
