This makes no sense at all, he's an American man working for an American company in America helping Americans do American things in order to protect America. Why would American characters be giving him recommendations outside of their more common country specific widely agreed upon pop culture.
Good point. As an American, I know and like absolutely nothing about pop culture created worldwide. Especially pop culture that had a big impact here. Oldboy? What is that, the sequel to the Golden Girls? And Daft Punk who? This is especially proved true by the fact that no one in America like Sherlock.
I watched this in the UK and didn't get that list, I got the american version and I'm glad; I would have found it jarring that Cap was recommended a bunch of British stuff over american stuff.
Sorry to disappoint but, they did have Shakespeare back in Cap's day. In fact, 'they' have had Shakespeare since the sixteenth century.
All in all I actually felt a little patronised by this. Why on Earth would Cap be interested in the 1966 soccer world cup final? I'm speaking as a Brit myself by the way. About the only alteration on the 'Brit-list' that made sense was the addition of the Beatles. It could at least have been made a little funnier by putting a question mark after Sean Connery's name, like he'd heard him mentioned but had no idea who he was (because of course he wouldn't).

Just another example of dumb marketing gimmicks intruding on films where they don't belong. I hope the bluray version has the default American list at least.
SHIELD is an international organisation that is dedicated to protecting the entire world. Your argument is flawed.
He's an American man working for an international organisation to protect the world. His colleagues won't all be American (In fact, Black Widow, the closest thing he has to a partner in this film is Russian or easter European - I'm not sure).
The bluray will likely be based on whatever region it's sold in.
Your post makes you look like a xenophobe.
As for the Sherlock entry, I believe there was a vote on Radio Times [http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2014-01-30/vote-for-your-favourite-british-tv-show-to-appear-in-captain-america-sequel-the-winter-soldier] for which TV show should appear. Sherlock beat Doctor Who by a small margin.

I'll admit to thinking it was a localised thing when it came to the 1966 World Cup final. But also thought that possibly he's interested in it due to the England Vs. Germany angle. Didn't see Sherlock but it really make no sense also Star Trek has very similar cultural impact in this country as the USA. Doctor Who since it returned is way more readily accepted to the point I know of few people who have not watched it and very few who belittle it.
As for Football in general nothing has had a greater impact globally in terms of sport even if like myself you don't particularly care for it it's a fact. Go into any developing country and give them a football and a kick about will soon occur. Give them an apple computer and most won't know how to work it. I know that doesn't resonate in US for whatever reason but Football is the global sport by a long long way.
Not for me personally but for a brit the 66 world cup has way more relevance than Steve Jobs. That's not to say I have any time for Steve Jobs. One thing I did notice though was the...
quote on nick fury's gravestone "The path of the righteous man"
Didn't notice the notebook, just that he wrote the soundtrack down.
Maybe that's a reason to go rewatch it?
nah, maybe not.
Finland reporting in by the way!
But just as my quoted friend here points out, be alerted for the easter egg in the cemetary!
I liked the movie alright!
Good spy stuff going on, the bad guys being twitchy and twisty as they always are against Cap, action scenes were good. Best part was on the boat when they filmed Scarlett just walking away from the camera, and the cameraman knew exactly where to aim
But yes, I enjoyed the film a lot!
But to pay twice it should be something extrodanary, as I can remember the only movie I've seen twice in theather is Django Unchained.
