This is an ongoing project by the American Film Institute to catalog all commercially made and theatrically exhibited American motion pictures, from the earliest days of the industry to (currently) 1993. It also includes approximately 9,000 films released after 1993 that are documented with basic records. Each entry in the catalog typically includes the film's title, physical description, production and distribution companies, production and release dates, personal credits, a plot summary, and notes on the film's history.

Includes a database of Academy Award Winners and Nominees and a database of Acceptance Speeches.

The American Film Institute celebrated the first century of American film-making by polling their "experts" for lists of the greatest American films of all times and greatest American films in various categories. The AFI also polled their "experts" for "America's 10 greatest films in 10 classic genres."

List of films deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically important" to be preserved by the National Film Preservation Board. Each year the board selects 25 films to add to the Registry. Includes links to expanded essays on various Registry titles as written by film scholars and critics.
