[robkelk]

Nominations are being accepted for the 2020 National Film Registry. The 2020 deadline for nominations is September 15, 2020.

You folks who live in the USA can nominate up to 50 titles by using the online nomination form linked on that page.


Black Swan, Despicable Me, Inception, The King's Speech, and Tangled are all eligible for nomination as of this year, as are hundreds of films that didn't make it onto the Registry in previous years. Just saying.
