Counted as one choice

Taking this set off the shelf is one decision, so every ranking on this site counts it once: 1 visit, not 3 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all three count.

What is in Olivier’s Shakespeare
Spine Film Director Year Reached by As a single film
41 Henry V Laurence Olivier 1944 1 0
82 Hamlet Laurence Olivier 1948 3 2
213 Richard III Laurence Olivier 1955 2 1

1 of these films have never been taken on their own: every visit that reached them arrived through a set. That gap is what "counted once" costs a ranking, and what opening the sets up recovers for coverage.
