You can nominate films for the National Recording Registry without charge via email. Info at:  http://www.loc.gov/rr/record/nrpb/nrpb-nrr.html

Roger:

ARSC Members don't vote on the REgistry. ARSC is honored that two of it's  
Executive Committee members (Current President Sam Brylawski and Bill Klinger)  
were invited to sit on the LOC Advisory Board. They can provide more info but 
-  if I understand it correctly - no one VOTES on the list and ANYONE can 
recommend  recordings to be included.

That said, your $36.00 (not $35., sorry) dues permit you to Vote for ARSC  
Officers. It also allows you to join a Committee and get involved (which is how  
Bill and Sam got on the Advisory Board.). There are lots of Committees to 
join  and it makes being an ARSC member more than just "receiving the Journals 
and  Newsletters".
