Question

Inspired by the recent work of others, I have attempted a puzzle:

Name the individual components, and the set.

COLLATERAL STORY LINE

CORYBANTIC

FLOURINE+ALUMINUM

UNDECIDED SHROUD

A MIXED UP MARINE

ALTRICIAL, BUT NOT MAMMAL

MENTAL, SHORTENED

STEP 30 WHEN BOXING, SAID IN REVERSE ORDER

VESTIBULAR INSTABILITY

INACCURATE CHAP

FELLOW WITH THE OPPOSITE OF A MEMORY PROBLEM

VEXATION WITH FUZZY

2 FASTENER A DEPREDATOR

ASTERN APERTURE

RING 13 4 SLAY

it is not the full set, and they are in reverse order.

You brought me back to look again at number #9 with your link, but I'm still not sure of the connection:

VESTIBULAR INSTABILITY - must be to do with balance so I can only think DIZZY. But I can't see the connection with my landmark?

Sorry I edited my post...the link is to number 11

Also

Dizzyness is another word for what?

It looks like these are a list of Alfred Hitchcock movies. In reverse order, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, and more that I haven't figured out. I see guessed this because foolonthehill got me close to Vertigo.

You have the set, so what are the pieces?

Yes. Here is a quote for why.

outisde the ring. What can a good sailor box from memory?

A sailor can 'box' or recite the points of a compass! It goes N, N by E, NNE, NE by N, NE, NE by E, etc so the 30th is North by Northwest (backwards)!

I think that's pretty hard if you have no sailing/wind knowledge...

edit: spelling

Precisely!

Well done!

There are a few left folks...
