I love the last shot of the movie where they're flying home, more in love than ever, and they look at each other like "those crazy Swedes! lol".

Plus that after credits scene where he gets an A+ on his thesis.

I've never seen modsommar. It seems like one of those movies you either love or hate.

Never saw it. I simply intuited to logical ending based on reading the first few paragraphs of the entry on themoviespoiler.com.

I'm in the love camp. Or probably more "really like".

I didn’t like, but admittedly I did think about it a lot after. I will rewatch it at some point.

Earlier this week I watched the first 1.5 hours of Once Upon a Time in America. I need to pick it back up.

No, but it’s in the category just below with Scarface and Goodfellas. A top ten gangster movie of all time.

I haven't seen it since it's original theatrical run. But I fucking loved it at the time. A truly great experience. Definitely time to revisit.

Saw it once years ago, around the time it was new, and really liked it. Only got to see part of it today. Watching it with my wife, and she’s working night shift.

Thought it was an interesting first forty minutes, very different from most other movies. Can’t remember much from the first time I saw it.

Traffic is really good, too. But Babel is better, I think.
