National Film Registry

The National Film Registry is a program established by the U.S. Library of Congress to preserve culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant American films. Each year, the registry adds films that meet these criteria, ensuring they are protected and accessible for future generations. This initiative highlights the importance of film as an art form and means of storytelling, celebrating diverse voices and narratives within the nation's cinematic history. Films included range from classics to more recent works, reflecting America’s cultural heritage and evolution over time.
