My third time participating in Hooptober. I easily filled up the "Based on a Novel" category but then found that many other movies I have added to my list were based on a novel as well.

This will be the first time not seeing any of the movies previously. Well, I have seen the one we have to watch, Wizard of Oz. Maybe some year it will be all first-time watches.
