The National Film Registry is a program established by the Library of Congress in the United States to preserve and celebrate important films. Each year, a selection of movies is chosen for inclusion based on their cultural, historical, or aesthetic significance. This helps ensure that these films are protected for future generations to enjoy and study. Films included in the registry range from classic Hollywood blockbusters to independent gems, showcasing the diversity of American cinema. By recognizing these works, the National Film Registry highlights the impact of film on society and encourages appreciation for the art of storytelling through motion pictures.
