Russia vs Finland wars - movies

[Bucic]

Can anyone recommend some movies on the subject? It can be any Fin vs Rus war as it appears there were more than one :) I'm interested mostly in cinematic movies but documentaries may do providing they are top notch.

 

I've just watched the Sauna (2008 ) horror and Ofelas (Pathfinder) (1987) and here's what came in my mind. I guess it's time for winter movies.

Talvisota

These are the ones that come to mind that I liked.

Thanks!

It seems that I started watching Talvisota one day and I didn't finish. I don't know why.

Talvisota - it's weird that in such a long movie there is so little details or even general notes on why Finland held out against Russia.

 

I think I'm going to give this documentary a go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_and_Ice:_The_Winter_War_of_Finland_and_Russia

If you want more,

is worth checking out. Despite not as great acting it has propably the best and most realistic tank fighting scenes I know.

 

Also this documentary was nice and informative:

Great movie and Väinö Linna's book is even better. Actually watched it for educational purposes when I served in the Swedish armed forces. My grand dad served in a unit similar to the one depicted in the movie.
