But yeah, long story short is that only films I consider greatest of all-time (La Dolce Vita, Lost in Translation, Being There, Happy Together, In the Mood for Love, etc.) stay in my collection.
Awesome explanation. "Keep what you love". What more needs to be said!

And what we love varies between everyone. You might love In the Mood for Love but I love Chungking Express (and I've seen/own both films). So you'd keep the former and I'd keep the latter. Nothing wrong there. We aren't comparing ourselves or our tastes to anyone else but ourselves! That's the hard thing collectors tend to forget... we shouldn't be competing with anyone. Being a diehard completist is exhausting and too much pressure.

Thank you for your short and succinct response on this.
