My second year for Hooptober but this time I won't be doing it solo. My girlfriend will be attempting the same list as she has made some picks as well. Planning on watching the bulk in October but as we will be going to Joe Bob's Jamboree in Vegas, we got a bit of a head start. I will also rate every movie I watch for this even though I often don't like to do reductive star ratings just a heart recombination. And I will write a review for everything I watch that no one will read.

Will finish the list just not all in October as it became busier than expected, and I got COVID in the way back from our Vegas trip. A couple of the films I added were horror movie I ended up seeing in October but didn't want to count originally. I wanted only films I added first to count, but at some point figured I should take what I could and maybe not drive my girlfriend insane.

I never finished this. I'll keep the list and maybe watch what's left but I'm in no rush. Didn't even write my thoughts for ones I watched. I like the idea of a watch challenge/plan but no pressure. There's always next year.
