Well, it’s Hooptober time again. Here’s this years OG List from Cinemonster
I did not finish all the films on my list last year, but I did significantly increase my movie watching volume during the season AND enjoyed discovering new films.

Once again, my list isn’t too hardcore because I want to participate but I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to horror movies. Nevertheless, I love this process because I learn so much about film and it exposes me to so many new movies I never would have found otherwise!
