While everyone was out over break, the Library of Congress continued tradition by adding 25 new titles to its permanent archives in the National Film Registry<\/a>. Each year, the National Film Preservation Board selects films that it deems “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” for preservation for future generations. It’s an eclectic collection that spans decades and genres, and this year’s additions are similarly well-rounded.<\/p>\n

The highest-profile films in the NFR’s latest wave include stoner-bowling-mystery-comedy The Big Lebowski<\/i>, World War II drama Saving Private Ryan<\/i>, 80s teen wish fulfillment vehicle Ferris Bueller’s Day Off<\/i>, and Pixar’s first ever short, Luxo Jr<\/i>. But there are also odder gems beyond that, like 13 Lakes<\/i>, a long-take documentary about America’s lakes, and the untitled Bert Williams Lime Kiln Club Field Day<\/i>, the first film to feature an all-black cast.<\/p>\n

You certainly can’t fault the National Film Preservation Board for picking some interesting films. If you’d like to catch up on what the government now considers essential, the following recently selected films are also in our collection:<\/p>\n
