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.

How far across film history it reaches

Where this haul sits in film history single films 1949 to 2024, box sets 1955 to 1997

The Apu Trilogy

Gregg Araki’s Teen Apocalypse Trilogy

a single film, at its year a box set, across the years of its films the collection, by decade

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 24films run 40.3 hours. The median visit runs 19.2 hours, over the 375 whose every runtime is on record.

That is 121 minutes of film for each of its 20 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 20 choices had been taken by 6.8 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 Heiress, taken by 2 visits in total.

This visit reached the work of Amy Heckerling, through Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gints Zilbalodis, through Flow, Gregg Araki, through Totally F***ed Up, Gregg Araki, through The Doom Generation, Gregg Araki, through Nowhere, John Waters, through Female Trouble, Amy Heckerling, through Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gints Zilbalodis, through Flow, Gregg Araki, through Totally F***ed Up, Gregg Araki, through The Doom Generation, Gregg Araki, through Nowhere and John Waters, through Female Trouble, who have been in this closet too. Not one of those reaches is returned.

One of the choices is their own: The Virgin Suicides. Left out of the lineage count, because reaching for yourself is not reaching for somebody else.
