-Blade Runner was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".-

What it means that kind of preservation?

It means that a digital copy on super durable medium has been sealed in an underground fallout shelter, so the aliens who come to Earth after the humanity will be wiped out in a global thermonuclear conflict, can find Blade Runner and other great movies in this safe vault, perfectly intact.

Or something like that.

Blade Runner was accepted for the Library Of Congress already in 1993. It was one of the first films of the 1980's to be selected. Scott's Alien (1979) had to wait until 2002 before it too was selected.
