What makes a motion picture "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant"? This documentary from PBS chronicles the work of the National Film Registry--created by the U.S. government in part as a response to the controversy over film colorization--and the assignation of over 500 films (so far) deemed worthy of official preservation. The program includes insights from Rob Reiner, George Takei, Leonard Maltin, Debbie Reynolds, Christopher Nolan, and others. 88 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English (SDH); bonus footage; deleted scenes; outtakes.
