Library of Congress - National Film Registry

Add to my lists | Print this list

Since 1989, the Library of Congress has chosen up to 25 films covering a stunning range of American filmmaking – including Hollywood features, documentaries, avant-garde and amateur productions, films of regional interest, ethnic, animated and short film subjects – all deserving recognition, preservation and access by future generations.

As of 2008, there were 500 films selected. The films that are selected must meet two criteria:
1. they must be culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant
2. they must be at least ten years old

Films are listed alphabetically.
