Hooptober again at last! I failed miserably my first go-around; but despite working far more this fall I think another year on Letterboxd will give me more of an edge this time. Going for all first time viewings except for The Fly (1958), The Fly (1986) and The Fly II (1989) since I planning on marathoning my Scream Factory Fly Collection set at some point (my own personal extra credit I guess).
This list is currently in release date order but will be updated to viewing order as I go along. So if by November 1st it's looking rather chronological, well...
THE RULES (my picks in italics):
31 Films between 9/15-10/31
6 countries (US, UK, Germany, Japan, Argentina, Spain, Italy)✅…
