Finnish movies on sale!

I moved to Finland for a while so I can find some DVD and VHS for you. There isn't a great or interesting production from here, expecially for horror/fantasy/science fiction, so the list is quite short but complete. I will also list a few titles that are not available on any support yet, just for completists.
Consider that almost every old finnish movie has no audio or subtitles options beside finnish and DVDs are quite basic with a very good restored video quality but no extras at all.
A few DVD are quite rare and very hard to find. This will be specified in the notes field.
