First Viewings...
nothing this week
Re-watches...
-You Only Live Twice (1967) (Nov 13th 2018) - 6/10
-On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) (Nov 17th 2018) - 6/10 (my 4th viewing)
-Moonraker (1979) (Nov 17th 2018) - 6/10
-Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987) (Nov 18th 2018) - 7.5-8/10
p.s. in general for me... 5/10 or less = Thumbs Down. 6/10 or higher = Thumbs Up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
to rank the James Bond movies I like it goes like this...
1.Skyfall (2012) - 9/10
2.Casino Royale (2006) - 8/10
3.Spectre (2015) - 7.5-8/10
4.From Russia with Love (1963) - 7/10
-.Licence to Kill (1989)
-.Goldfinger (1964)
-.Dr. No (1962)
8.The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) - 6-6.5/10
-.Quantum of Solace (2008)
10.Moonraker (1979) - 6/10 (I mostly put this above the others below as my overall interest in it is a bit more stable where as the others below seem to hit at least a little weaker bit at least once in a while)
11.Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) (it has some weaker stretches here and there. Diana Rigg is still one of the best Bond Girls (she was on Game of Thrones but I dumped that show I think at beginning of Season 5)
)
12.The Living Daylights (1987) (it has roughly a 10-20min dull stretch late into the movie)
13.You Only Live Twice (1967) (it gets a bit dull in the last 20min or so)
14.Thunderball (1965) (the underwater scenes dull the overall movie)
2.Casino Royale (2006) - 8/10
3.Spectre (2015) - 7.5-8/10
4.From Russia with Love (1963) - 7/10
-.Licence to Kill (1989)
-.Goldfinger (1964)
-.Dr. No (1962)
8.The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) - 6-6.5/10
-.Quantum of Solace (2008)
10.Moonraker (1979) - 6/10 (I mostly put this above the others below as my overall interest in it is a bit more stable where as the others below seem to hit at least a little weaker bit at least once in a while)
11.Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) (it has some weaker stretches here and there. Diana Rigg is still one of the best Bond Girls (she was on Game of Thrones but I dumped that show I think at beginning of Season 5)
)12.The Living Daylights (1987) (it has roughly a 10-20min dull stretch late into the movie)
13.You Only Live Twice (1967) (it gets a bit dull in the last 20min or so)
14.Thunderball (1965) (the underwater scenes dull the overall movie)
so things shuffled around a little after recent re-watches of a large chunk of that list.
NOTE: that gap between Nov 13th-17th was pretty much spent messing with the Nintendo Wii system I got a hold of for real cheap and then spent some time learning how to mod it (all that's required is a SD card the Wii can read and a USB thumb drive etc) so I can run games off of a SD card or USB based device (USB thumb drive or USB hard drive) instead of having to use the actual game disc like is normally required. basically I got a hold of a couple of used Wii systems for next to nothing and moded em both. mostly got a hold of em for a nephew as now he's going to love it since I got a bunch of games on there. I suspect ill end up moding his own Wii system soon enough. because I knew people could mod these years ago when they where newer but I never really bothered to learn about it since I never really cared about gaming on Wii as, at least as far as consoles go, I was more into the XBox/XBox360 etc (which I also moded years ago).

OP's...
-Confidence (2003) - 5/10 (when I see this listed I was not even sure if I had seen it as I had to check my IMDb account and apparently I viewed it at some point in the past but apparently it's score pretty much reflect's my thoughts on it which are... it's forgettable)
-Psycho (1960) - 5/10 (I thought it was solid enough on my first viewing but it did not hold up on a re-watch on March 5th 2013. side note... the oldest movie I score a 9/10 or higher would be The Hustler (1961)(9/10) which I feel is MUCH better than the overrated Psycho.)
-E.T. The Extra-terrestrial (1982) - 6/10 (but I need to get around to re-watching this as that 6/10 score is pretty much more of a estimate from memory as I have probably not re-watched this since probably sometime in the 1990's. I need to get around to re-watching it eventually just to make sure I still like it.)
-Psycho (1960) - 5/10 (I thought it was solid enough on my first viewing but it did not hold up on a re-watch on March 5th 2013. side note... the oldest movie I score a 9/10 or higher would be The Hustler (1961)(9/10) which I feel is MUCH better than the overrated Psycho.)
-E.T.

You Only Live Twice (1967) (Nov 13th 2018) - 6/10
-On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) 5/10
-Moonraker (1979) 6/10
