  In a cool, dry place.

Professional films are a little more time-sensitive and perishable than other films. Many photographers choose to store these créme de la créme films, such as Fuji Fujichrome Velvia, in the frig if they do not plan to shoot it in the near future. If you do this, just take your film out an hour or two before shooting to let it 'thaw' - this way, your film won't stick together from condensation.

But most films, and even the pro films if you will be shooting them soon, can be kept in a cool, dry spot.
