-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm adding my own rule which I did last year, and that is to only put first-time watches on my list.

Edit: CANDYMAN has been pushed back to a 2021 release so I've put BLADE: THE IRON CROSS and I'M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS on there as alternative 2020 releases. I will want to add/replace some titles with more black filmmakers and performers but can only do so as I find them.

EDIT 2: Had to remove POSSESSOR because we're not getting any kind of VOD release until November. Boo! Replaced with WOLF OF SNOW HOLLOW because it's readily available and it's Robert Forster's final film performance. Rest in peace.

Happy Hooptober! 🎃
