This list contains the primary featured films in the 5" era of criterion releases that share a single spine number, more common recently, mostly for box sets.
For the first 480ish releases, the only feature films with shared spines were double features, starting with "The Human Condition," Criterion assigned all three films to a single spine number. Single spines remained unusual until after the release of the Godzilla set (spine 1000) after which single spines became the norm for box sets (rather than the outlier)
