{{quote|''These films are not selected as the 'best' American films of all time, but rather as works of enduring importance to American culture. They reflect who we are as a people and as a nation.''|[https://www.loc.gov/programs/national-film-preservation-board/film-registry/frequently-asked-questions/ National Film Registry FAQ]}}
The '''National Film Registry''' is a department of the United States Library of Congress designed to index American-made films that are "culturally, historically and aesthetically significant". In other words, the films that end up on the Registry are the ones that deserve to live forever according to [[American Political System|the US government]]. This is among the highest honors an American movie can receive, much higher than even the [[Academy Award]]s (and, believe it or not, less politically meddled with).
As of the 2023 selection, the oldest film on the Registry is ''The Newark Athlete'' (1891), and the newest are ''[[12 Years a Slave]]'' and ''[[20 Feet from Stardom]]'' (both 2013). Only three film have been added to the Registry in their first year of eligibility: ''[[Freedom Riders]]'' (2010) in 2020, and ''[[12 Years a Slave]]'' and ''[[20 Feet from Stardom]]'' (both 2013) in 2023.
