cutie honey
hideaki anno, 2004
recommended for james
like most of anno's movies, this one is fun and heartfelt and has an out of left field anime feel to it. the most amazing part is probably the stop motion battles. i feel like these creative visuals could inspired them for their videos and it seems right up james' alley!
content note: suggestive content, violence
oye mi amor
maná, 1992
recommended for martin
ever since martin mentioned listening to latin music, i couldn’t help but imagine him enjoying latin rock. maná was and still is such an iconic rock band in my eyes. this song will never get old <3
lux
rosalia, 2025
recommended for all of cortis
all of her work is so beautifully developed but i love love love this project + its overall sound! really cool production choices and use of theming…the usage of different languages throughout the album has always been so cool to me and i think its a good example of how music can expose us to different cultures
content note: strong language, mature themes
mononoke
kenji nakamura, 2007
recommended for james
one of the best anime with one season imo. the art style is insane; it feels like watching a theatre play, but it's animated. the storytelling pulls you in and has you questioning things alongside the medicine seller. do yourself a favour and watch it!!
content note: abuse, violence, trauma, disturbing imagery
adventures of huckleberry finn
mark twain, 1884
recommended for all of cortis
cortis would love this book because its rebellious spirit of breaking rules and forging your own path perfectly matches the cotl ethos. huck finn’s journey toward freedom mirrors their self-produced roots, skate-punk energy, brotherhood, and authentic self-expression.
content note: intense racism, frequent racial slurs, child abuse, physical violence
tu te imaginas
de la guetto, 2008
recommended for all of cortis
even though it’s from 2008, the pinnacle of reggaeton, de la ghetto has more of an r&b vibe that i think cortis would enjoy. we don’t focus too much on the lyrics, we just vibe. that’s the rule of reggaeton, and it fits cortis perfectly.
content note: drug references, suggestive themes
chasing summer
sir, 2019
recommended for james
peak music. james would love this album :)
content note: explicit language, sexual themes, substance use, mature relationship themes
antes de que nos olviden
caifanes, 1990
recommended for coer
this song has a powerful message about remembering the past and not forgetting the people who fought for justice.
happyend
neo sora, 2024
recommended for all of cortis
a film about youth pushing against the status quo and standing up for what they believe in. the protagonists are into music namely djing and there's a lot of running around :) a staple of cortis media
content note: natural disasters, surveillance, discrimination, civil unrest, teen substance use
tren al sur
los prisioneros, 1990
recommended for all of cortis
a chilean latin rock song with synth-pop influences and a really special melody. i think you might enjoy its feeling of nostalgia and peace, it’s about stepping away from routine and life’s pressures to find peace somewhere far away or in small, quiet moments ♡
stand by me
rob reiner , 1986
recommended for martin
the ultimate story about brotherhood, nostalgia, and figuring out who you are with your best friends by your side. as the leader, that bond and coming-of-age journey would totally hit home for him. plus, the classic rock and vintage aesthetic are right up his alley.
content note: strong language, minor violence, mature themes
no one will miss us
samuel kishi leopo, 2024
recommended for coer
it is a mexican series that combines comedy, drama, and friendship. It is about a group of students in the 1990s who sell homework to their classmates to make money. However, their personal problems put their business and friendship at risk.
content note: violence, substance use, alcohol use, foul language
amarte duele
carolina rivera, fernando sariñana, 2002
recommended for james
it's a mexican movie from the early 2000s. i know james likes films that move him emotionally and i think this one would be a good option.
content note: death, harassment, sexual or suggestive content, moderate violence
exit through the gift shop
banksy, 2010
recommended for all of cortis
its a documentary about street artists and the commercialization of art. its an interesting documentary satire that i think the members would enjoy since its a commentary on art creation itself.
content note: mild profanity, smoking, themes of illegal street art
de música ligera
soda stereo, 1990
recommended for all of cortis
with their alt-rock, skate-punk vibe and influences like tame impala and alice in chains, they’d connect with its iconic guitar riff and raw energy. like color outside the lines, “de música ligera” broke boundaries and refused to be boxed in, making its fearless expression a natural match for cortis.
the princess bride
rob reiner, 1987
recommended for all of cortis
one of my comfort movies! it’s super funny, with great dynamic characters. both cute and cool story lines! just a great movie overall
content note: drinking, death
ours is chrome
superheaven, 2015
recommended for all of cortis
since all the members are huge rock fans, i think they’d really enjoy this album! superheaven and cortis are two of my go-tos, so i’d love to see a crossover one day :)
