34 movies
Returning once again for Hooptober 11, my seventh one overall. I've fallen off of all my other weekly challenge lists this year, but I've salted this one with a handful of movies from those along with this year's requirements as laid out in Cinemonster's latest list: <a href="https://boxd.it/tYxXW">Hooptober 11: The Return To Texas Because We Need That Extra Push Over The Cliff</a>
(Copy-pasted from Cinemonster's list for E-Z reference, with my film picks and usual visual blandishments 👀 added for fun!)
