The film preservation board meets yearly to select 25 "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films." Members of the board pick from films nominated from a wide pool. All films must be at least 10 years old at the time that they are nominated. The film registry is a list of films that are not the best American films of all time but have enduring importance to American culture. There are 825 films on the registry as of December 14th, 2021. The only requirements are that the films be American produced and should be originally created on film stock. Tags: films
