Of course, there are also recent purchases (such as "Il Sorpasso") which I know for a fact that I will want to watch again and again, so I still believe that Criterion blind-buys are always a risk worth taking.
The Double Life of Veronique is my favorite film of all time, so boo to you.

In all honesty, it's pretty easy for me to determine which films I would want to watch again. The Chaplin silents and talkies, the adventuresome Kurosawas, and the thought-provoking Bergmans and Kieslowskis, are just a few of the films that I can almost guarantee that I will keep.
