I have attempted Hooptober every year since 2019, my first year on Letterboxd, but have only succeeded once, in 2020. Last year, I decided Hooptober wasn't for me.
This year, I am determined that THERE WILL BE A RECKONING.
I'm gonna succeed at Hooptober X come hell or high water. Let's do this.
Based as always on Cinemonster's list. Hooptober officially begins September 15th, but I'll be real with you, I'll probably start earlier. Slight adjustments may be made to this list pursuant to streaming service availability.
The number in brackets currently just refers to its placement on the list. It will be replaced with an X when I've watched the movie.
