I love the Criterion Collection and this is a great idea for a poll with a good intro. The list is also an excellent list of excellent films (the results would be really interesting). My guess, though, is that the list is far from complete.
I found the films below** that fit your inclusion guidelines but the collection has so many movies that I'd think that it'd be very difficult to get a complete list using almost any guidelines. I don't think that a complete list is necessary, though, as long as that's clear in the intro. Perhaps including something like, "The below is just a sampling of the great films that the collection offers. Which of these is your favorite The Criterion Collection title?" would work.
