Criterion's own upload · on criterion.com
This visit as a strip, a cell for each choice: paler the older the film, indigo for a box set, which is one cell however many films it holds. The order is the order Criterion's own page lists them in, which is probably but not provably the order they came off the shelf.
| Chose | Director | Year | Taken by | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  The Red Shoes | Michael Powell, Emeric Pressburger | 1948 | |
| 2 |  The Virgin Suicides | Sofia Coppola | 1999 | |
| 3 |  Daisies | Věra Chytilová | 1966 | |
| 4 |  Bringing Up Baby | Howard Hawks | 1938 | |
| 5 |  To Die For | Gus Van Sant | 1995 | |
| 6 |  The Power of the Dog | Jane Campion | 2021 | |
| 7 |  The Worst Person in the World | Joachim Trier | 2021 | |
| 8 |  Parasite | Bong Joon Ho | 2019 | |
| 9 |  The Princess Bride | Rob Reiner | 1987 | |
| 10 |  I Knew Her Well | Antonio Pietrangeli | 1965 |
How far across film history it reaches
The axis is the same 1920 to 2030 on every visit page, so a haul that stayed inside one decade looks like one. A box set is drawn across the years of the films inside it, which is a range of release dates and not a claim about the set. Nothing here is in the order the choices were made: displayed position moves film year by a fifth of one percent of its variance, which is not a slope worth drawing.
How long this haul is
Its 10films run 18.6 hours. The median visit runs 19.2 hours, over the 375 whose every runtime is on record.
That is 111.6 minutes of film for each of its 10 choices, counting a box set as the one choice it was. Across the 375 visits with a complete total, the median is 136.4 minutes.
How unusual this haul was
Its 10 choices had been taken by 6.5 visits each on average, counting a box set as one thing. Every one of them has been taken by somebody else too. The least-picked was The Power of the Dog, taken by 2 visits in total.
This visit reached the work of Bong Joon Ho, through Parasite, Joachim Trier, through The Worst Person in the World and Sofia Coppola, through The Virgin Suicides, who have been in this closet too. Not one of those reaches is returned.
