Kenneth Turan’s pick: National Film Registry show at the Egyptian

Every year since 1989, the Library of Congress-sponsored National Film Registry has selected significant American films as worthy of preservation. Many of these films are well-known features such as “Casablanca,” but the registry also selects excellent but little-known shorts. Now Filmforum has come up with the smart idea of showcasing eight of these films, ranging in time from Winsor McCay’s 1911 “Little Nemo” to Chuck Workman’s 1986 “Precious Images.” Workman will attend, as will Janie Geiser, director of “The Red Book.” 7:30 p.m. Sunday at the Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood.
