Movies Recommended by James From CORTIS
James, probably adding something to his watchlist.
Every movie James of CORTIS has recommended, watched or brought up, in one place. Two Weverse lives, a record store interview, a Weverse post and a fansign, with a poster and a short description for each one.
The short version
38 titles. 21 from his own Weverse live on September 16, 2026, 17 from the MADMAKZ live he did with Keonho on September 10, and five of those came up on both. Add two Guy Ritchie films, one he was spotted with, and the two anime he calls his favourites.
Of everything on his live, he said he had actually watched Watchmen, The Notebook and Obsession, and rewatched Sinners. Those are marked on their cards.
