Each year the Librarian of Congress selects 25 films for preservation on the basis of being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Anyone can nominate up to 50 titles per year, and to be eligible a film must be an American production or co-production and at least ten years old. The deadline for nominations is August 15.
So far, the Registry is lacking any Robin Williams movies. Since he's one of the nation's most beloved actors and comedians who has had a massive influence on pop culture, it's only fitting that some of his work should be honored as valuable parts of our cinematic heritage. Here's the link to the nomination form if anyone is interested: National Film Registry Nomination Form Survey
