Twenty-five films have been selected for the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 2024 due to their cultural, historic or aesthetic importance to preserve the nation’s film heritage, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced today.
The new selections date back nearly 130 years and include a diverse group of films, filmmakers and Hollywood landmarks. The selections span from a silent film created to entice audiences at the dawn of cinema in 1895 to the newest selected film from 2010, a drama about social media.

Wrath of Khan has been a long time coming.
Beverly Hills Cop (which I honestly thought was already in), No Country for Old Men, and The Social Network.
I recognize a few others (like The Miracle Worker and My Own Private Idaho), which are a bit too arty for my tastes, but yeah, sure they deserve to be in too. Some of the other more obscure ones probably only mean something to people who had an actual art house theater in their college town.

Edward James Olmos must have been on the selection committee.

Blade Runner and Stand And Deliver are already on the list. He might just have an uncanny ability to pick scripts.

Holy shite-take mushrooms…
One of those really doesn’t belong and I have no idea why it’s being added.

Spy Kids was one the most miserable movie theater experiences I’ve ever had, and I was still young enough to be in the target demographic. I can’t imagine how awful the adults in that theater felt.
The only good thing I remembered from that movie was how Carla Gugino gave me some feelings that were new to a young fella like I was at the time.

I'mma need someone to explain this one to me. I'm clearly too low brow to understand.

And by the way, the only Lord of the Rings in the Library of Congress is Fellowship of the Ring and the theatrical version at that. So if our civilization is destroyed and the Library of Congress is the only surviving copy, then they’ll only have the first third. Honestly remove Fellowship from the LoC and just put in the entire Expanded Edition of Lord of the Rings in there instead.

There's one I'd deny and remove from that list outright.
