National Film Registry 2007 Picks
Amid all the Oscar talk and year-end list announcements, the Library of Congress has weighed in with a list of its own, one that is decidedly more important than any other this time of year. Every year, 25 films are selected “as part of a program aimed at preserving the nation’s movie heritage.” The 25 films below join 450 films already selected from 1989-2006.
Since, I’m still sick and not feeling even slightly creative, I’ll leave you with the list:
Back to the Future (1985)
Bullitt (1968)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977)
Dance, Girl, Dance (1940)
Dances With Wolves (1990)
Days of Heaven (1978)
Glimpse of the Garden (1957)
Grand Hotel (1932)
The House I Live In (1945)
In a Lonely Place (1950)
