My second year doing Hooptober. What is Hooptober?
Films may change depending on my ability to access these, as well as other whims. All of these are new to me, with the exception of The Wizard of Oz. It’s 2025 btw. 

Updating this as I go to reflect the order kt and I watched the films in, which is partially from a spinning wheel, partially based on vibes, and partially library DVD copy availability.
