I drive by this place all the time! On the outside it looks all overgrown and pretty cool. Although I have not been inside, I know that sometimes they play a few films, and people can come in and watch, for free! :)
"It's goal is to ensure the survival and the conversation of our nation's films." 0:52 "JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER." And why would you want to ensure the survival of THAT?!
Fun fact when star wars was chosen to be submitted for preservation George Lucas sent the remastered edition rather than the original. They didn't except it as they wanted the original and till this day George Lucas still keeps the negatives to himself
This is crazy! I've driven by here not knowing what it was thinking it was some millionaires confiscated home but I just came across this video, How awesome!
essential vital work, preserving our past, our memories....I hope this extends into Television history too. Despite the mediums bad rep there are nuggets worth preserving. The corny early 50's TV commercials included, the classic cartoons like Bugs Bunny, etc. I also read that data made from about 1980 - 2000 was made on a material that withers rapidly and will soon be gone, or something like that. Hope all the good stuff is kept safe.
Those classic Bugs Bunny et. al WB cartoons were actually shown in theaters originally. One of the only ones I know of that's definitely been added to The National Film Registry is 1953's "Duck Amuck". There is tons of classic TV content that should be preserved for future generations, though. They might start with "I Love Lucy" & the original "Twilight Zone".
Cartoon series like Looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Popeye, Betty Boop, Pink Panther and Tom and Jerry were actually shown in movie theatres before television even existed.
I'm curious about the printing and what they print. Do they print new sections for missing and damaged sections of film? Do they make extra copies? Make film-outs of digital movies? Do they make prints from nitrate copies/originals? I know they do screenings of movies from their archive, so I also wonder if they make prints of movies they want to screen if they only have original negatives.
I am looking for a documentery made in around 2009 about the National Film Registry. I know it exists because I had seen it before not even a month ago but I can't seem to find it anymore. It covered a handful of the movies in there spending about 1-2 minutes talking about each movie- showing clips from it and showing people who worked there talking about how the movie made it in to the registry, and then they'd move on to the next. They covered movies like how Back to the Future got reccomended so many times, and these little short films about a guy singing with a duck and a movie called H2O which is just clips of water that get closer and closer until it doesn't even look like water anymore. I'm really looking for this documentery but I don't know how to get more specific with Google other than: 'national film registry documentery made in 2009.' Could you please help me find the title? Thank you:)
The voice over audio is messed up. I don't think it's on my side by a render problem. Music and SFX is fine. Nevermind I'm having a CZcams audio playback problem.
Now this is a national treasure. I believe history has always been dishonest and the free thinkers, artists and film makers with balls always told the truth.
You're aware that basically all major films, even ones made today, are stored on physical film reels, because it's more reliable than hard drives, or any other digital format will ever be? You heard the guy, he has films that are 100+ years old, and yet they were still able to restore and play the films. Try doing that with a hard drive or any other digital format, hell even analog formats too.
They should go to Sudan's film archives They have a lot of collected films but they are not taken care of. Watch the documentary film of al Jazeera about the the Sudanese archivist and you'll know.
Even though they have terrible movies like gigli and the Adam Sandler movies, at least they have good movies like Casablanca, the maltese Falcon, Frankenstein and princess mononoke in their vault.
0:52 You can get those out of here. Maybe ship em back to Canada? And just like that 'famous' news weather interview, "I compare winter to be the Justin Bieber of seasons, it was kind of cute and exciting when it first started out and now it's a bit obnoxious and should probably just stay in Canada.
Digital formats are always changing and becoming obsolete shortly after a new one pops up and analog film format is the best option for long term preservation at this time. Some of the new film types they use for preservation will easily survive over 500 years.
I saw Princess Mononoke, keep that one safe mates.
Tato Smasher indeed! Clearly they still store gold there
They must have all Ghibli movies..
Another "I'm glad someone is doing this" moment
0:53 "Justin Bieber: never say never." I say let them nuke that one. Just set it outside to save us from utter embarrassment.
Braselton94 they need to let it go
Braselton94 Keep it so other space civilizations know what not to do.
Olsa Shamwow good idea!
space alians might think it's a threat
ravens are the best lol
You didn't need to keep all the Adam Sandler films.
Tim Tam's Its a reminder for those who find it on what not to do in film.
Tim Tam's happy Gilmore was good though
Tim Tam's 🙌
why? Adam sandler movies were good to watch
Tim Tam's Yes, yes they did
But do they have cool cat saves the kids
EndCubing, of course they do.
That's such a coincidence I asked myself that in the middle of the video
the real question is:
do they store the piano cat?
This guy is awesome. How can I get this job? Is he talking internships?
that is what i was thinking
same It would be really interesting working there
Emilio Luera to get
Fascinating! He is living his dream and at the same time, playing a huge role in preserving history! Very cool!
I drive by this place all the time! On the outside it looks all overgrown and pretty cool. Although I have not been inside, I know that sometimes they play a few films, and people can come in and watch, for free! :)
Dismal Spectre that's really cool
Awesome, someone from around here
when the government asked for star wars, george lucas said he forgot where they were, and now the original star wars film is gone forever
I wouldn't be surprised if a film collector has an early theatrical print.
keep the ghibli films extra secure please
What a phenomenal clip! I wish I could visit. How many of these have been digitized?
32 i dunno
They do show flims
preserving Americas film/cultural history seems like it would be an exciting job seeing as you have over a century's worth of it in your hands.
great big stories are the best!!!
Bee movie better be in there
"It's goal is to ensure the survival and the conversation of our nation's films."
0:52 "JUSTIN BIEBER: NEVER SAY NEVER."
And why would you want to ensure the survival of THAT?!
Oh boy, so glad for people in the future to wonder why Fred the movie exists
Fun fact when star wars was chosen to be submitted for preservation George Lucas sent the remastered edition rather than the original. They didn't except it as they wanted the original and till this day George Lucas still keeps the negatives to himself
0:49 Am I the only one who thought it was Hey Arnold: The Jungle Movie. C'mon they gotta have it.
Shameron same i thought that too
I could spend my days in that place just watching movies. That's how much movies make me happy! 😊 Great video, very well made.
EmilyCheng29 i believe they occasionally show films there only reason i know is cuz i live in culpeper
I love this channel it's so underrated
Did anyone else hear that creepy breathing closer to the end during the shot of him watching an old movie?
so...so do they store porn?
Kyle Tran or that doctor who movie????
There's not enough room on earth for that.
asking *THE* real questions
Kyle Tran no. They only store documents that would help the world know about history/
In special cases, you can actually hold the original Star Wars film reel from the first movie.
That's Freaking Awesome!
I'm more interested in the bunker, seems amazingly cool.
It would be so fun just to watch the movies as a part time job!
A man with a purpose. I wish to be like you one day, old friend.
This is crazy! I've driven by here not knowing what it was thinking it was some millionaires confiscated home but I just came across this video, How awesome!
My dream job! Fixing films in an underground bunker!
that feel when jack and jill is included.
Just imagine if humanity were to be wiped out and later aliens came down and watched the films
Netflix in the past

Imaging if there was place like this where they cared about extinct animals this way.
LNxTCB A enclosed underground cage?
We sorta have one for plants and we care for endangered animals sorta like this just all separate for different animals
They already do
At 0:51 you can see like 4 HP movies!! It's cool because, Harry Potter is preserved somewhere.
Ralf Tan the film who lived
Those are actually just half of one movie, looks to be reels 4 through 8
The voice over audio is messed up. I don't think it's on my side by a render problem. Music and SFX is fine. Nevermind I'm having a CZcams audio playback problem.
I bet the original full length Zapruder film is hidden in there somewhere...probably mislabeled as something no one would ever want to see again
0:55 star wars episode II 😀
Hey Arnold! The movie. Classic.
This guy get to watch movies!
loved his smile at the end ☺
OMG I live in Culpeper, I see that building all the time!
The post-nuclear world will be better off if you go ahead and throw out the Adam Sandler movies.
Hey Arnold! the movie 0:48-0:49 love that movie
I guess you could say,
They're keeping it reel
love this channel the best content
Is it me or do I just want to binge ever single reel back to back in order?
Idk but the ending was adorbable
I wonder if "The Room" and "The Human Centapide" are also there.
guys I got a VIP tour there this summer because someone my dad knows works there
Do they have foodfight?
Now this is a national treasure. I believe history has always been dishonest and the free thinkers, artists and film makers with balls always told the truth.
This is my most favorite one I had ever seen
Linus has all those films in the petabyte server anyways... so long as he doesn't drop it this place can close up shop.
After long time, i'm able to find good channel.
I hope he opens a cinema and plays these amazing history
I love how hey Arnold the movie is in there
They even have the Hey Arnold Movie!!!
I’m going to sneak in the archives with a giant duffel bag. You name it we play it!
Extraordinary!
Very important program keep saving the history.
so this is where my taxes are going XD
Lorenzo Zarate sadly yes they could just put it in a fucking hard drive
Yes, but what would you do with the hard drive after 20 years? 50? 500?
You're aware that basically all major films, even ones made today, are stored on physical film reels, because it's more reliable than hard drives, or any other digital format will ever be?

Thomas
David Bernfeld and you could buy the construction on a word doc
THEY HAVE FOODFIGHT!!! BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how in God's name is Hangover part 2 stored there?
0:50
They should go to Sudan's film archives
They have a lot of collected films but they are not taken care of. Watch the documentary film of al Jazeera about the the Sudanese archivist and you'll know.
I need to go there. Film is my love
this is really amazing I hope one I'll be able to do this for the rest of my life.
It's Beautiful ❤️
Wait until one guy to mess up and causing a nitrate fire.
I always pasted this place and had no idea what it was, this is amazing tbh😂
Even though they have terrible movies like gigli and the Adam Sandler movies, at least they have good movies like Casablanca, the maltese Falcon, Frankenstein and princess mononoke in their vault.
I used to live somewhat close to here
God damn these are so short and interesting I can never stop just saying "Just one more" I've been trying to go to bed for over an hour!
This vid will go there
Of all things they had to preserve fucking Bieber
hahah "Hey Arnold!" awesome.
Hey arnold the movie, i loved that
I hope they have the original film of London after Midnight
Alright, now show me who's in charge of putting all this on streaming sites
0:48 hey arnold. i was like omg
0:52

Best description of winter yet. Boy, do I loathe that season (I live in North Dakota, one of the many border states to Canada :) ).
Forgive my ignorance on the subject matter, why would not they preserve them in digital form?
Digital formats are always changing and becoming obsolete shortly after a new one pops up and analog film format is the best option for long term preservation at this time. Some of the new film types they use for preservation will easily survive over 500 years.
and now we stored our film in torrent
i like how when the world ends im gonna die but not a bunch of tapes
I'm hoping that they have Seven Samurai somewhere in that vault....
Not an American film, so probably not.
Reminds me of Iron Mountain.
do they have the original theatrical versions of star wars?
I like Justin bieber n all but I find it weird to find that never say never film alongside Casablanca. Doesn’t really seem to fit hand in hand hahaha
please store world wars movies
they are very important
preserved history
Why not just store the movies on a hard drive? You’d fit way more in there and need less maintenance
If the apocalypse happens imma pick up some films.
I freaked out when they had hay Arnold
Do they have The Story of the Kelly Gang?
0:49. Hey Arnold!
Adam sanders movie wow can't wait to watch jack and Jill
These are the people that keep the Bee Movie safe for future w
*generations
I wanna go there
0:20 Did they just say nucelar? reminds me of the penguins from ''Madagascar'' haha
