The National Film Registry

The National Film Registry is a list maintained by the Library of Congress that selects and preserves movies considered culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant in American history. Each year, 25 films are chosen to ensure they are preserved for future generations. The goal is to recognize movies that have made a lasting impact on American culture and to protect them from deterioration or loss. This registry celebrates the diversity of American filmmaking and helps ensure that important films remain accessible and appreciated over time.
