This may be a dumb question, but do they make war movies in Finland ? Seems like they should since they had all the battles with Russia. What are the top movies of all time made in Finland ?
Sure Ta 152, there are some war films around... This is always about one´s taste but heres some Finnish war films and I try to put them in the order what´s most liked and so on 1. The Unknown soldier ( Tuntematon sotilas in Finnish ) based on the novel by Väinö Linna of the same title. Film made in 1955 is the traditonal Finnish war movie that was/is shown on our independence day. The movie was done "again" in 1985 and is good but the tradition with the first film never fades... 2.Winter War Excellent movie from 1989. You can feel the madness of war here... 3. The Road of Rukajärvi About the war in continuation war of a Finnish leutenant who finds the war as a personal revenge as her wife is in the hands of Russian partisans...a bit Hollywoodish but nice battle scenes... --------- I think these are the most famous at the moment...
I can't say much about the new h-wood flicks coming out. For me--the best prospects are few and far in-between. I will give The Alamo a chance. Definately Cold Mountain. The Great Raid sounds promising. Troy, might be of interest. Bourne Supremacy will be a definate see--for me as I loved The Bourne Identity. I might see Spidernam II, maybe The Fantastic Four--but--as for the rest--nope! Oh and as for Finlans: "The Winter War." I've heard nothing but great reviews on this film and I will be buying the DVD when I can afford to --- Sight Unseen. THAT"S how much faith I have in it being a good movie.
