I'm bumping up this post as a reminder to everyone on this Valentine's Day weekend that we can vote for a movie we
LOVE to be included in the next selection of films to the National Film Registry. One of the criteria is that films have to be at least ten years old, so this is the first year Brokeback Mountain is eligible!
Only a very few have made it on their first try. so send your VOTE to the link provided. There's also a link with info about the film registry, it's purpose, etc.
By the way, the website says nothing about having to be from the United States to send in your vote, so don't let that stop you! (It IS a Government agency, though, so they may be spying on your IP address! LOL! J/K! )
Time to Vote!
Librarian of Congress James H. Billington seeks nominations for the National Film Registry. Public nominations play a key role when the Librarian of Congress and Film Board are considering their final selections. To be eligible for the Registry, a film must be at least 10 years old and be “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”
For consideration, please forward recommendations (limit 50 titles per year) via email to: dross@loc.gov . Please include the date of the film nominated (i.e. 2005) , and number your recommendations:
(i.e. 1. Brokeback Mountain), please; alphabetizing would be nice, too. No need to include justifications for your nominations unless the films are not well known (not listed in IMDb, for example). And if you would, please tell us how you learned of the Registry.
