Films eligible for inclusion must be at least ten years old, and can be feature films, documentaries, short films, or animated works. The registry serves as a valuable resource for scholars, researchers, and filmmakers, and is intended to raise public awareness about the importance of film preservation. Some of the notable films in the National Film Registry include classics like "Gone with the Wind," "Citizen Kane," and "The Wizard of Oz. " The inclusion of a film in the registry helps ensure its long-term preservation and accessibility for future generations.
