Publishing this list only having watched 9 of the 34 films from last year's challenge. Pretty abysmal effort from me. Half the fun is making the list though, and I couldn't help myself! Hoping to at least have 20 from last year put away before October 1st, 2022.

Previous Hooptobers:
Hooptober 8.0 (2021)
Hooptober 7.0 (2020)
Hooptober 5.0 (2018)

Anyway, y'all know the drill...

Not a chance I'll bang this list out by Halloween, so obvs doing it in my own time. Really want to make this the first one I 100% complete before next year's challenge.

I've gotta write a review for every film, none of which I've seen before.
