Here again at last, and this time it's serious! I WILL COMPLETE Hooptober, if it's the last thing I do!

Just like Cinemonster (the legend with whom it all began), I won't be waiting until October to start this, for fear of failing yet again (and I'm on holiday for a week in October, so that's a real set-back). So I've got started bright and early! [Sept. 06, 2019]

No re-watches at all this year, all new stuff!

[Watched films will shoot to the top, where a personal preference ranking will develop]

Progress: 18/31
