With Christmas just around the corner, 25 movies have been added to the National Film Registry and this year the likes of “Titanic,” “Die Hard” and “The Goonies” have all made the cut.
Other films which have been selected for their “cultural, historic and/or aesthetic importance” to American heritage include “Dumbo,” “Field of Dreams” and “Superman.”
This year’s chosen movies now brings the number of films in the registry up to 725.
“Our love affair with motion pictures is a testament to their enduring power to enlighten, inspire and inform us as individuals and a nation as a whole,” said Carla Hayden, Librarian of Congress, according to Variety. “Being tasked with selecting only 25 each year is daunting because there are so many great films deserving of this honour.”
