"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.""
Twenty-five films were selected for preservation by the National Film Registry, ranging from 1896's The Tramp and the Dog to 2014's The Grand Budapest Hotel. Selections include mainstream favorites such as Clueless and Inception, classic Hollywood musicals like White Christmas and High Society, notable dramas and comedies including Philadelphia and Frida, and four documentaries including Brooklyn Bridge by Ken Burns. Films must be at least ten years old and are chosen for cultural, historic, or aesthetic importance. Turner Classic Movies will present a television special screening a selection of the preserved titles.
