The United States Congress first established the National Film Registry in the 1988. Along
with mandating continuing implementation of a plan to save the American
film heritage, this law authorizes the Librarian of Congress (after
reviewing public suggestions and consulting extensively with film
experts and the 44 members and alternates of the National Film
Preservation Board) to select up to 25 films each year for inclusion in
the Registry. The 625 films chosen to date illustrate the vibrant diversity
of American film-making.
The Library of Congress is currently seeking nominations. Public nominations play a key role when the Librarian of Congress and Film Board are considering their selections. To be eligible for the Registry, a film must be at least 10 years old and be “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” Recommendations are due in September. And new selections are usually announced at the end of December.
The Louise Brooks Society suggests you recommend these Louise Brooks films (and other silent films):
Beggars of Life (1928)
The Street of Forgotten Men (1925)
The Show Off (1926)
A Girl in Every Port (1928)
