WARNING: Spoilers ahead.

After spending several decades under a block of ice, Steve Rogers has a lot of catching up to do when it comes to pop culture and cultural milestones. Luckily, he keeps a checklist filled with recommendations to get him up to speed and one step closer to becoming a more Modern Man — even though, in true Steve Rogers fashion, he maintains his to-do list analog-style with a notebook and pencil.

In the opening scene of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," future bromance partners Rogers (Chris Evans) and Sam "The Falcon" Wilson (Anthony Mackie) have a meet-cute during their morning jog around Washington, D.C. Wilson recommends listening to Marvin Gaye's seminal soundtrack album, "Trouble Man" (1972), which Rogers jots down in his notebook, under a handful of other entries that briefly flash on screen.

As it turns out, this list has several variations worldwide, with specific items tailored toward a particular country's release of "Winter Soldier," which Yahoo Movies can now share with you exclusively.

One interesting note: While the first five items are exclusive to individual territories, the last five items on Cap's to-do list are the same in every country. They are "Thai Food," "Star Wars/Trek," "Nirvana (band)," "Rocky (Rocky II?)," and the current addition, "Troubleman (soundtrack)." See, we're not all that different after all.

Here are Cap's to-check-out items from all around the globe.
