Gearing up for my second round of Hootober with Hooptober 12 and I’m stoked! I still haven’t forgotten about my long term goal of doing Hooptober 1-10 but that’s on the backburner until Hooptober 12 is done now!
A reminder of a couple self-imposed rules:
-Every choice must be a film I haven't seen
-No duplicates aside from the "Countries" and some "Decades" as I tried to keep it to 31 films
6 Countries (other than Italy or US)
- (UK/Ireland) Images (1972)
- (Belgium) Yummy (2019)
- (Canada) The Colony (2013)
- (Japan) Cure (1997)
- (Mexico) Blacker Than the Night (1975)
- (Russia/USSR) Day of Wrath (1985)
9 decades
-2020s Escape the Field (2022)
-2010s Cold Fish (2010)…
