The United States Congress established the National Film Registry in 1988. Along
with mandating continuing implementation of a plan to save America's
film heritage, the law authorizes the Librarian of Congress 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 from the public - meaning you! 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. New selections are usually announced at the end of December.
The Louise Brooks Society suggests you recommend these Louise Brooks films. Each are worthy of inclusion in the registry:
Beggars of Life (1928)
The Street of Forgotten Men (1925)
The Show Off (1926)
A Girl in Every Port (1928)
