Re: How many Criterion do you own?
125 including one Eclipse set (out of 1392 total in my collection)
I've really cut back as they release fewer and fewer titles I'm interested. I find myself moving more towards the Arrow and Shout/Scream releases.
There's also a lot of stuff here I've picked up at the B&N sales or at thrift stores that I need to watch and list on eBay.

No idea, probably north of 200 on BD. I was never that into Criterion on DVD and only buy films of deep interest from their catalog.

According to what I list on Criterion.com, 50 in DVD/Blu. One is a duplicate, Carnival of Souls, the rest are unique.
Probably close to that in Laserdisc, but many more duplicates as I upgraded a lot of Criterion LDs with Criterion Blus, skipping the DVD stage on most.

About 23 single and 4 multiple movie box sets = 43 movies on BluRay and 15 single and 1 multiple movie box set = 21 movies on DVD.

For some reason I thought I had eBayed all my Criterions (I did not have many to begin with), but it turns out that I still have the Blu The Before Trilogy, and the Lone Wolf & Cub set. Only 2 Criterion Blus, but quality sets, the both of them.

I've got 26 DVDs, including 7 Eclipse sets, and 121 Blu-rays, including several multi-movie sets such as Essential Fellini, The Complete Jacques Tati, Dietrich & von Sternberg in Hollywood, and The Essential Jacques Demy.

Weird distribution but it's only 5 votes so far.

Probably almost 100. Most are the old DVDs. 4 of them are blus. This shows my reduced buying.

1 - through around 900 or so, but I kind of lost the thread during the pandemic for some reason. I wonder if I'll be able to regain my momentum given my vastly reduced purchasing habits..

Re: How many Criterion do you own?
Thanks for adding the poll, Adam, and I hope people take it.
I decided to vote in my current bracket of 25-49 as I'm at 40 and I think it will still take a while to get to 50.

I still have the Chasing Amy and Armageddon dvds. I'd like to get the Police Story set and The Breakfast Club.

200+
about 70% are still sealed. Since Target stops carrying them for their buy B2G1F sale, I have not bought many in the past year.

132 plus one Eclipse.
As the other boutique labels get better at the vintage sci-fi & horror and martial arts movies I find myself less and less interested in what Criterion is doing.

Re: How many Criterion do you own?
I recently sold off a huge chunk of my collection and many were Criterions. Now I have eleven and six of those are David Lynch films.

Re: How many Criterion do you own?
I subscribed to the Criterion Channel's BF sale last November so I wouldn't have to buy every notable movie that I was "sorta" interested in.
So far, it's helped. I watched Electric Dreams a few months ago and that's not something I would ever want to own. But, the movie was entertaining for something from the 80s. I don't think it's on disc though.
