What they took
7 cases, in the order Criterion lists them. None of them is a box set, so the count of choices and the count of films reached are the same.
Least-picked choice here: The Shape of Water, taken by nobody else.

United States accounts for five of their seven single films.
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.
Their decades
Their seven 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.
