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 4 picks. Where the question is about films rather than choices, the set opens up and all four count.

4 films, and more than one director. Kazui Nihonmatsu directed 2 of them; Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell and The Living Skeleton are by other directors. Everything Criterion put in the box is counted here.

4 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.
