Hello to all!
So, due to participating in a psych study here in my university, I'm about to rake in
some money. Something I've been wanting to do for a while now is buy a region-free DVD
player and some Finnish movies to watch. I know I can buy some Disney movies from
Suomikauppa.fi (I adore Disney movies), but I was wondering:
1) What live-action Finnish movies would you guys recommend (that come with Finnish and
English subtitles)? I've been browsing Amazon in the Finnish Cinema section, but I
don't want to risk spending $30 for a movie I might not like.
2) And on that note, do you guys know of any online stores with Finnish DVDs that ship
to the US?
Thanks for any help!

I don't remember precisely whether these movies have English subtitles, but these are my
favorites so far:
Sauna (horror)
Paha maa (drama)
V2 jäätynyt enkeli (Action, crime)

@caem imt: Thanks for the recommendations! I'll probably skip on Sauna since I'm not a
fan of the Horror genre. I heard about Paha Maa, but I heard the English subtitles are
not very accurate. Is that true?
@Serpent and caem imt: Does V2 Jäätynyt Enkeli have Finnish subtitles? It would seem
weird if it doesn't, but I'm reading it only has English and Swedish subtitles.

I watched both with Finnish subtitles, so I can't comment on that :S
However, as you can see here, the DVD does have subtitles in Finnish:

Ahh, okay! I don't know why every other website I visited didn't mention the Finnish
subtitles. Thanks!
