A classic among Finnish war flicks is
Tuntematon sotilas (
The Unknown Soldier) from 1955. Another popular (but very long) choice is
Talvisota (
Winter War) from 1989. These are definitely not your typical Hollywood stuff, and you might need some knowledge of the historical events to understand them... For something a bit more recent, there's
Rukajärven tie (literally The Road to Rukajärvi, but known in English as
Ambush).
Åke Lindman has previously directed one war film,
Etulinjan edessä - framom främsta linjen (
Beyond the Front Line) in 2004, but I haven't seen it yet. He also acted in
Tuntematon sotilas.

Post-WW2, Finland didn't have too much money to throw around, and apparently no one was too eager to sell fighter jets to a neutral country (with a very long border with the Soviet Union) either. Luckily things have changed since.
