After wanting to join for a couple years, this will be my first Hooptober! All my Fall plans were cancelled, so I'm going to do all the movie challenges.
I'll write the category and date under each movie.
I might do a few films in Sept. but I'll be doing most of it in October. I'd like to do as many unique and first watches as possible, but I usually can't get to 100%. And, I'll probably be doubling up with the Reddit October Horror Movie Challenge.( My ROHMC list )
I don't like to write reviews right away, so these are not going to be put on the list in order or in a timely fashion.
Recommendations are always…

Update 10/5: I am really having trouble putting my thoughts into words lately, so these reviews suck! I think I've just gotten busy and my brain is 10 different places at once. I'll try to update them with more clarity later.
10/17: I really need to write/finish these reviews!
I'm realizing that I'm really bad at writing reviews, which is actually why I started doing reviews. I haven't had to write anything since college, but I've always been bad at telling instead of showing.
10/24: A lot of these are going to end up being short reviews of just a few thoughts. I'm still counting them.
11/3
I definitely finished all my movies by the 31st, but I'm still working on just minimal reviews. Why am I so bad at this!?
