I don't think I mentioned this film yet here at VI Corps, but "The Winter War" is in my personal Top 5% of foreign language films. For anyone who may not be familiar, the Winter War was fought in 1939 when Finland successfully resisted a land-grab attempt by Stalin's Red Army. At the time, Finland's "army" was scarcely more than a group of under equipped patriots, but they had the will and determination to protect their homeland from a vastly (numerically) superior foe. A film about personal courage and sacrifice for the greater good......very realistic and high-budget battle scenes enough to satisfy any who require lots of action too!
