All of the films without spine numbers, see https://www.criterion.com/shop/browse/list

More specifically:

Eclipse Series films i.e. https://www.criterion.com/films/2959-a-colt-is-my-passport, https://www.criterion.com/films/27516-come-on-children, https://www.criterion.com/films/12521-sanshiro-sugata - these stand out the most since several actual Criterion Closet picks are from the Eclipse Series, and most (all?) of them lack spine numbers because their cases are slimline and lack spines altogether

Films in similar box sets like The Ranown Westerns that don't have standalone releases, i.e. https://www.criterion.com/films/32211-comanche-station

I did find the over-sized Godzilla Showa Era box on the shelf.

Are those movies public domain?

The Criterion Collection is a boutique film distributor. They are famous for their Criterion Closet videos on youtube. This project was to recreate the experience 'virtually'.

Its not even close to Boutique. Napolean Dynamite was rejected. That breaks the coccyx.

There are public domain movies in the collection, notably Night of the Living Dead and Carnival of Souls.
