The legendary photographer and filmmaker talks about the inspiring beauty of Marlene Dietrich, reminiscences about the great actor and screenwriter Carole Eastman, and selects favorites such as On the Waterfront and ’Round Midnight.

01

What they took

6 cases, in the order Criterion lists them. Two are box sets, which is why 6 choices reach 32 films.

United States accounts for three of their four single films. The two box sets are what carry the reach to 32 films.

02

Closest taste

Jaccard overlap against every other visit, counted on what came off the shelf rather than on films, so a shared box set counts once rather than as the films inside it.

403 visits compared · 31 filmed-together pairs excluded

Nobody close enough to name

A visit needs at least 5 choices to be compared at all, and a pair at least 2 in common to count as close. Nothing this visit took was taken twice over by anybody else.

03

Their decades

Their four single films with a release year on record, against where every guest's single-film picks land. Box sets are left out of both sides, so the two bars measure the same thing.
