Movies like "The Social Network," "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," "Dirty Dancing,” and others are the latest pieces of cinema to be preserved by the National Film Registry.
Every year, the Library of Congress highlights 25 films at least 10 years old to recognize as “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant. In 2024, more than 6,700 titles were submitted by the public for consideration. But only a select few were hand-picked. Some of the other film titles added to the National Film Registry are “Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan,” “My Own Private Idaho,” “Spy Kids,” “No Country for Old Men” and “Beverly Hills Cop.”
