Hooptober X, aka the third time Drew and I are participating in the annual Hooptober film challenge! We'll be doubling up on prompts where we can like previous years (since our schedules likely won't allow for 31 films), but hopefully we'll complete every prompt again! Every film is a first watch for me except for The Lost Boys and M (two of my favourites!)
