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...


Colder the better - I keep all of my film at -18C. I've shot Velvia
100/100F that was more than a year over date and the results were
subjectively as good as 'fresh' film.
