National Film Registry logo vector.svg

The National Film Registry is the United States National Film Preservation Board's selection of films deserving of preservation. The NFPB, established by the National Film Preservation Act of 1988, was reauthorized by acts of Congress in 1992, 1996, 2005, and again in October 2008.The NFPB's mission, to which the NFR contributes, is to ensure the survival, conservation, and increased public availability of America's film heritage. The 1996 law also created the non-profit National Film Preservation Foundation which, although affiliated with the NFPB, raises money from the private sector.

As of today, there are currently 875 films provided on the registry (including newsreels, silent films, student films, experimental films, short films, a music video, films out of copyright protection or in the public domain, film serials, home movies, documentaries, animation, and independent films), with 25 new films being added to the Registry annually.

Why It Rocks

  1. The system was created because most of the silent era and most than half the films made before 1950 had been lost at the time, and a lot of the surviving pre-50s films were being colorized to try appeal to modern audiences. So they're making sure people of other generations will get to see different forms of the art.
  2. The concept of preserving America's film heritage is a creative and thoughtful idea. Like trying to capture a collection of family photographs as memories.
  3. Most of the films listed stand the test of time incredibly well and continue to remain relevant in various ways, which you can learn more about by clicking on a film's title and going to its separate page. Some even predict future events.
  4. This kind of honor is different from receiving an Academy Award. While the Oscars focus on films that are popular and well-known at the time, the National Film Registry focuses on films that stand the test of time. They have the "minimum of 10 years old" rule so the work can get some time to connect to various kinds of audiences and become a true favorite.
  5. There's a nice mix of the great classics of American cinema, and a fair share of cult classics, crowd-pleasers and more mainstream movies.
  6. The Registry's also not afraid of diversity. Various films with non-white, female and LGBTQ directors have all gotten their honors, and get treated with just as much respect as the well-known films, proving that the founders and workers are perfectly willing to honor lesser-known gems if they deserve the honor.
  7. Another thing that makes the registry unique is that (since 1992) it doesn't limit itself to full-length theatrical feature films. The Registry has also allowed short films, documentaries, independent films and other forms of motion pictures. They even have a music video in the mix.
