America’s Film Legacy

The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
Daniel Eagan has compiled a comprehensive guide to the 500 most significant films ever made in the United States, from big-budget blockbusters to experimental shorts. America’s Film Legacy: The Authoritative Guide to the Landmark Movies in the National Film Registry presents the films that make up the backbone of American cinema—from the well-known, such as "Citizen Kane" and "Casablanca" to the obscure "Blacksmithing Scene," and "Free Radicals."

Event: Daniel Eagan will introduce the program The Docks of New York & Selected Shorts in the National Film Registry, with live piano accompaniment by Steve Sterner
