wmvankoppen stated that most of the films on the list is unavailable with English subtitles, witch isn't entirely correct.

This is a list of the films I've found who's available on DVD with English subtitles.
Unless other is stated, it is the Norwegian DVD-edition we're speaking of.

1. Orions belte
2. Hustruer - ti år etter
4. Ofelas (No English subs on the Norwegian edition, but there is on the German edition)
6. En håndfull tid
8. Frida - med hjertet i hånden
9. Hodet over vannet
10. Eggs
11. Kjerlighetens kjøtere
12. Budbringeren
14. Bare skyer beveger stjernene
15. S.O.S.
16. Heftig og begeistret (No English subs on the Norwegian edition, but there is on the Danish edition)
17. Alt om min far
18. Salmer fra kjøkkenet
19. Buddy
20. Hawaii, Oslo
21. Slipp Jimmy Free (Sadly no english subs with original Norwegian-language, but there is an English-dubbed version for sale at for instanse Amazon.co.uk)
22. Reprise (No english subs on the Norwegian edition, but there is on the US or UK edition (US edition has bether sound alternatives))
24. Max Manus (No english subs on the Norwegian edition, but there is on the UK edition, both DVD and Blu-ray)

The Man Who Loved Yngve has also been released on an English version dvd, check Amazon. Oddvar Einarson's X was unavailable for a long time but was recently given a rerelease. Silly that they didn't include English subtitles after all these years of waiting though.

If you want a list of danish films, just send the iCM crew a mail. That's what I did, and we got this list.

Just watched Hawaii, Oslo. Liked it a lot.

It's a pity that most of these films aren't available with English (or Dutch!) subtitles... Jeg her studert norsk i ett år, men det er for lenge siden. I could buy the dvds, but I'm afraid I won't understand a word. :-(

In 1993, as the only year, the Amanda-award instead of being an award just for Norwegian films chose to do a twist and be a Nordic film-award, nominating films from Denmark, Finland, Island and Sweden in addition to Norwegian films.
This year the Norwegian film Telegrafisten a.k.a. The Telegraphist http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108309/ won the Grand Prix, so to say, the Best Nordic Feature Film of the Year-award.
Although this film did not win the Best Norwegian Feature Film of the Year-award, as the other 25 films on this short list has, i am still of the opinion that Telgrafisten should be included on the list, as this Norwegian film won the Grand Prix of the Amanda Film Award in the year 1993.
Any opinions.

Cool to see a Norwegian list here. Just a shame that the Amanda Awards is so lame. Norway got much better movies than these.
