(2017) Glad to be doing HoopTober again! Somehow (and I was extremely surprised) I was able to make this list with only 1 movie I've already seen before, just like last year's Hoop-Tober.

It was still quite difficult for me to complete the challenge because I also took on another challenge that I do every year, which is giffing and screen-capping 31 horror movies for my tumblr blog (one movie for each day in October). I got super burnt out last year by the time I was done, but this year I started making gifs early and intend to smash both challenges early. **********
