The National Film Registry (NFR) is the United States National Film Preservation Board's (NFPB) 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.[1][2][3] The NFPB's mission, to which the NFR contributes, is to ensure the survival, conservation, and increased public availability of America's film heritage.[4] The 1996 law also created the non-profit National Film Preservation Foundation which, although affiliated with the NFPB, raises money from the private sector.[5]

Criteria


The NFPB adds to the NFR up to 25 "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films" each year, showcasing the range and diversity of American film heritage to increase awareness for its preservation.[6] To be eligible for inclusion, a film must be at least ten years old.[7] For the first selection in 1989, the public nominated almost 1,000 films for consideration. Members of the NFPB then developed individual ballots of possible films for inclusion. The ballots were tabulated into a list of 25 films which was then modified by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington and his staff at the Library for the final selection.[6][8] Since 1997, members of the public have been able to nominate up to 50 films a year for the NFPB and Librarian to consider.[9]

"Taken together, the ... films in the National Film Registry represent 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 we begin this new millennium, the registry stands among the finest summations of American cinema's wondrous first century."

—Dr. James H. Billington, Librarian of Congress.[6]



The NFR includes films ranging from Hollywood classics to orphan films. A film is not required to be feature-length, nor is it required to have been theatrically released in the traditional sense. In addition, television programs, commercials, and foreign films are not excluded from consideration, although American films are given preference. The Registry contains newsreels, silent films, student films, experimental films, short films, music videos, films out of copyright protection or in the public domain, film serials, home movies, documentaries, animation and independent films. As of the 2017 listing, there are 725 films in the Registry.[10]


Currently, the earliest listed film is Newark Athlete (1891), and the most recent is 13 Lakes (2004). Counting the 11 multi-year serials in the NFR once each (as the NFR does) by year of completion, the year with the most films selected is 1939, with 19 films from that year chosen. The time between a film's debut and its selection varies greatly. The longest span is 121 years; Edison Kinetographic Record of a Sneeze was originally released in 1894 and selected in 2015. The shortest span is the minimum 10 years; this distinction is shared by Raging Bull, Do the Right Thing, Goodfellas, Toy Story, Fargo and 13 Lakes.



Films





Fred Ott's Sneeze is one of the earliest U.S. films. Thomas Edison made this 5-second film.



Black-and-white film screenshot of a man (at center) playing a violin while facing a large cone. An obscured man is seen behind the cone. Two men at the right are dancing with each other.


The Dickson Experimental Sound Film is the first known film with live-recorded sound.[11]



Three black-and-white film strips showing a woman and man facing each other and then eventually kissing. Each film strip has about five visible frames.

The 47-second long The Kiss was one of the first films shown commercially to the public.[12]





The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Fight was both the first feature-length picture (running at almost 100 minutes) as well as film's first bona-fide financial success (grossing between $100,000-$750,000), sparking the earliest large-scale discussion about the medium.



A black-and-white screenshot of a man facing the camera, while also pointing a revolver forward. He has a large mustache and is wearing a cowboy hat, a bandana around his neck, and a heavy jacket.


The Great Train Robbery used a variety of editing techniques that were becoming popular at the time of its release.



Animated black-and-white image of a large dinosaur atop a cliff, with a man in a suit standing in its mouth. Several boulders can be seen in the background.

Although not the first animated film, Gertie the Dinosaur became the first popular cartoon.[13]



A black-and-white screenshot of several men in white robes and hoods surrounding an African-American man (a white actor using "blackface"). The men's robe have crosses on them and in the background other men are on top of horses.


The Birth of a Nation developed innovative camera techniques and special effects and became Hollywood's first successful feature film, being cited as the first "super-production".




The influential Intolerance was made by D. W. Griffith partly in response to controversy over the racism seen in The Birth of a Nation.





Charlie Chaplin's 1921 film The Kid not only became the first successful comedy feature film, but also demonstrated the compatibility between dramatic and comedic elements, cementing Chaplin's reputation.





Nanook of the North revolutionized the documentary film with its large scale production, though it continues to receive controversy for staging several of the events it depicts.




The iconic scene featuring Harold Lloyd hanging from the clock in Safety Last! has been referenced by numerous media, with a number of films including similar events in their plots.



A man wearing extensive makeup is looking to his left. The makeup gives a skull-like appearance and he is wearing a robe with his arms crossed in front of him.


The Phantom of the Opera featured extensive makeup for its main character.[14]





Al Jolson in The Jazz Singer, the first feature film to include scenes of fully synchronized sound.




The 1931 film Dracula became highly influential over future depictions of the title character. Its simultaneously-filmed Spanish-language version is unique among foreign-language versions for being preserved by the NFR as well.





Little Caesar sparked a vogue for gangster films during the early 1930s and established Edward G. Robinson as the quintessential "movie mobster".




Lasting 16 minutes, Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor was the first U.S.-produced animated film with a running time over the standard 7-8 minutes, predating Disney's Snow White by a year.




The famous "Heigh-Ho" sequence from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first American animated feature film, created by Walt Disney, and showing the seven dwarfs (Doc, Happy, Grumpy, Bashful, Sneezy, Dopey, Sleepy).




Despite not being the first film in color, The Wizard of Oz startled audiences when Judy Garland seamlessly transitioned from black-and-white to color.




Adjusted for inflation, Gone with the Wind is the highest-grossing film in box-office history.




Despite initial box-office struggles, Pinocchio has long been acclaimed for its technical merits.



A black-and-white screenshot of a man sitting upon a table, holding a globe.


The Great Dictator (1940) was Charlie Chaplin's first sound film after his era of silent films.



A black-and-white image of a man wearing a suit standing at a podium. His right arm is resting on the podium and is left is pointing up to his left. A large headshot of the same man is visible in the background.


Citizen Kane is considered by many critics and scholars (including the American Film Institute) to be the greatest film ever made.[15]



A black-and-white screenshot of a man and woman close together appearing ready to kiss.


Casablanca has six lines of dialogue on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movie Quotes, more than any other film.



A black-and-white screenshot of an image of a world map. Above the United States is a figure of a white soldier, and above Asia is a larger black soldier. Text at the bottom-left of the image states "30 Millions vs. 200 Millions".


Why We Fight was a series of propaganda films directed by Frank Capra explaining to soldiers why the United States was involved in World War II.





It's a Wonderful Life disappointed both critics and audiences while in theaters, but frequent television showings have transformed it into one of the most beloved and widely referenced films of all time.



A black-and-white screenshot of a soldier.


Let There Be Light was a controversial documentary blocked from public distribution for 35 years.



A black-and-white screenshot with a robot at the left near the background and a man at the right standing in the foreground. Four bright lights can be seen in the background.


The Day the Earth Stood Still is a 1950s science fiction film.





Gary Cooper in the controversial High Noon, which was said to be an allegory on McCarthyism.



A color screenshot of a woman on the middle of a staircase, a teenager at the bottom, and a man in the front of the staircase. The teenager is wearing a red jacket and has his arms outstretched at his side.


Rebel Without a Cause was released in theaters less than one month after the main actor, James Dean, died in a car accident.[16]




Often cited as one of the greatest westerns of all time, The Searchers was an influence on directors including Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, and David Lean.



A color screenshot of a man with a beard wearing a robe. He has his hands raised at his side, and his right hand is holding a staff. Dark clouds can be seen in the background.

For The Ten Commandments, various visual effects were used to create the illusion of Moses (Charlton Heston) parting the Red Sea.



Black-and-white screenshot of a man and woman standing next to each other. The man has his arm around the woman's shoulders as she smiles.


Elvis Presley refused to watch the completed Jailhouse Rock after Judy Tyler was killed in a car accident a few weeks before the film's release.[17]






In Mary Poppins, Dick van Dyke plays Bert, the chimney sweeper.





Night of the Living Dead was the first film to feature the modern interpretation of zombies.
