Congress Sanctioned National Film Registry
Members of the public can nominate films to be considered for inclusion in the US Library of Congress Film Registry. Each year 25 films are added to the Registry to be preserved for future generations.
Why Have a National Film Registry?
Librarian of Congress, James H. Billington, says that America has lost “about half of the films produced before 1950 and as much as 90 percent of those made before 1920”. Nitrate and acetate based films are continuing to deteriorate with the passage of time.
Films selected for the Film Registry are preserved through the Library’s motion picture preservation program or through the combined efforts of the Library and motion picture studios, archives or other organisations.
In 2008, the US National Film Registry has celebrated its twentieth year of protecting and preserving significant American films. The Registry now contains 500 films considered to be significant “culturally, historically or aesthetically”.
The 500 films now stored in the vault cover a range of genres and styles and include films made since the early 1890s. The complete list of films is available from the Library of Congress and includes a range of classics, science fiction, musicals, drama, comedy, animations and others such as:

The National Film Preservation Act stipulates that the US Library of Congress should select 25 films each year to be preserved in their film vault. These films are not necessarily chosen as the best American films [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but rather those that have made significant and lasting contributions to American culture.
In 2008 a further 25 films have been added to the Film Registry. These include The Invisible Man (1933), the first American movie serial The Perils of Pauline (1914) starring Pearl White and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s science fiction classic The Terminator (1984).
