As if! 'Clueless,' 'The Karate Kid,' 'Inception' among 25 movies entering National Film Registry

"Cher Horowitz fans, rejoice: Amy Heckerling's 1995 teen comedy is one of 25 classic movies chosen this year by the Library of Congress for its National Film Registry. And if "Clueless" wasn't your jam - whatever! - maybe this will send you deep into your dreams: Christopher Nolan's mind-bending "Inception" is in the mix. Other films chosen for preservation include "The Karate Kid," "Glory," "Philadelphia," "Before Sunrise," "The Incredibles" and "Frida." There are four documentaries, including "Brooklyn Bridge" by Ken Burns. From old Hollywood, there's the 1954 musical "White Christmas," and the 1956 "High Society," Grace Kelly's last movie before marrying into royalty."

"Since 1988, the Library of Congress has selected 25 movies each year for preservation due to their "cultural, historic or aesthetic importance." The films must be at least 10 years old. The oldest of the 2025 picks dates from 1896, filmmaker William Selig's "The Tramp and the Dog." The newest of the group is from 2014: Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel," which, the registry noted, involved "meticulous historical research at the Library of Congress to create visually striking scenery." Turner Classic Movies will host a TV special March 19 to screen a selection of the films. A closer look at some of this year's selections:"
