These Amazing Shadows (Movie Watch)

Paul Mariano & Kurt Norton's "These Amazing Shadows" asks the question: what do films like Casablanca, Blazing Saddles & West Side Story have in common? As the government-appointed protector of our cinematic legacy, the National Film Registry selects culturally, historically or aesthetically significant works for preservation in the Library of Congress. From award-winning features to music videos, experimental films to home movies, each Registry selection reflects a truth of its time or a standout artistic vision. Through interviews with Registry board members, archivists, and notable filmmakers like Christopher Nolan, Rob Reiner, John Waters, John Singleton, John Lasseter & Barbara Kopple, the filmmakers demonstrate the way film documents artistic & societal milestones.
