You can't keep a good thing down: It's time for another round of Hooptober! This will be my fourth round overall, with two successful completions and one failed challenge under my belt.

As always—for me, at least—I'm only including films I haven't seen before and any movies with asterisks are counting for multiple criteria somewhere on the list below. Cinemonster's original list and the rules are here. Any bolded films are ones I've completed and the associated review is linked accordingly.
