The 1980s were the most represented decade this year, with a total of six films making the list – three Hollywood blockbusters and three smaller, independently produced films. The oldest film on the list, Annabelle Serpentine Dance was produced by the Edison Company and featured noted actress of the day Annabelle Moore.<\/p>\n

In a statement accompanying the announcement, Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden said –<\/p>\n

Films reflect our nation\u2019s history and culture and must be preserved in our national library for generations to come. We\u2019re honored by the responsibility to add 25 diverse new films to the National Film Registry each year as we work to preserve our cultural heritage. This is a collective effort in the film community to preserve our cinematic heritage, and we are grateful to our partners, including the National Film Preservation Board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Library of Congress names 25 films annually to the National Film Registry as per the dictates of the National Film preservation Act. The purpose is to build a collection of film that is considered “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant. Previous films named to the Registry range from Star Wars<\/strong> to the 8mm color motion picture footage shot by Abraham Zapruder of the assassination of President John F Kennedy. All nominated films must be at least ten years old.<\/p>\n
