Films Not Yet In The National Film Registry

by Swornshadow • Created 5 years ago • Modified 3 years ago
Each year the Library of Congress asks the public to submit up to 50 nominees for films they think should enter the Nation Film Registry which you can do here: https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/nominate/ the deadline being September 15th of each year.

I was rather disappointed at the previous selection from 2019 XD I was happy to see some selected but others left me scratching my head! So I just wanted to create a list of films not yet apart of that collection that might make some excellent editions for one reason or another in no particular order. Perhaps you agree with some or have some different ones in mind! Submit your nominations today :D

Also, if I missed any I hope to add them in the near future but only if I have seen them XD

*Update* The following films from this list have been since added to The National Film Registry since it was started: A Clockwork Orange, The Blues Brothers, Shrek, The Dark Knight :D
