National Registry of Films: My 2020/23 Nominations

My thanks to Elvisisking for inspiring me (again) to do this.

I just sent these in, but you have until August 15th to submit up to 50. These are all films I believe should ultimately be in the Registry. I chose only a few from post-2000 because I think earlier classics are more direly needed as they will be restored and kept pristine via their inclusion. I'm certain that I've missed films so feel free to make suggestions.

Here's the link to find out how to nominate and what films are already on the list:

*I removed Sounder, Stop Making Sense, The Last Waltz, Boys Don't Cry, and Coal Miner's Daughter because they all made the list since I first put this together 3 years ago. That's 8 films in total that I've voted for that have made it. Yay!
