Default film storage - fridge or freezer?

I usually store in the fridge, but read about those that put film in
the freezer. OK for it? More suited to long term storage? I've not had
any problem with cold storage in the fridge part in the past, just
wondering.

Locally film (well, good film) is harder to find. I just mail ordered
some Velvia 100F, and being more rolls than I will shoot right away,
wondered about the cold storage options...


I believe freezing it will keep it the longest (indefinitely); but the
fridge is also fine. The only concern I see is that to thaw it well enough
before use to keep it from becoming brittle and breaking.
I used to keep it in baggies to prevent condensation too.
