Film preservation is like trying to keep your old gaming console from becoming obsolete - it's a bit of a challenge but someone's gotta do it! I mean, "White Christmas" (1954) is still a holiday fave and "The Thing" (1982) is still giving us sci-fi nightmares, so I guess that's a win for the registry 🎥. I'm not sure what's more surprising - the fact that they included a bunch of oldies or that some people still care about them enough to want them preserved 😂. Anyway, it's dope to see these classics getting the recognition they deserve and I'm here for it! 👍
 
Just great to see so many old faves on the list 🎥👍. "Philadelphia" is a powerful one, still holds up today. And 3D movies were ahead of their time with "The Thing". Who knew some stuff from '26 was gonna make it? It's cool that documentaries like "Say Amen, Somebody" are getting some love too - music vids from back then might seem simple now, but they're still beautiful 🎵. Nice mix of old and new, think we can all learn something from these films...
 
Just saw this list and I'm loving it 🎥! There's some oldies but goodies here like "White Christmas" (1954) which is still a classic to this day. And I've always wanted to see more of Barry Sonnenfeld's work, so "The Wrecking Crew" is high on my watchlist now 📺. But what's weird is that they selected some documentaries and indie films too, like "Say Amen, Somebody" (1982) which is a super obscure film I'd never heard of before 🤯. The fact that the Library of Congress is preserving these kinds of films for future generations is just awesome 👏.
 
Man, I'm loving this list 🎥💫! You got classics like "Philadelphia" (1993) - such an important film for social justice, but also super cheesy at times 😂... and then you've got some cult faves like "The Thing" (1982), still gives me chills even today ❄️. And I'm all about the '80s with "Say Amen, Somebody" (1982) - who wouldn't love a film that's basically a gospel music fest? 🎤🕊️

But what really gets me is how these films represent different eras and genres... from old-school Hollywood to indie flicks. It's like, we're taking a trip down memory lane with all these retro movies 😌. And "White Christmas" (1954) - I mean, Bing Crosby is the man, right? 🎄😊

I'm kinda bummed they snubbed some of my favorite films, though... like, where's "The Big Lebowski" (1998)? 🤔 Still, it's awesome to see these classics getting the recognition they deserve 💪.
 
🎥 I love seeing these classic flicks get the recognition they deserve! 🙌 "Philadelphia" is such an important film, and it's amazing to think about how far we've come in terms of representation and acceptance since its release. And can you believe "White Christmas" was picked for preservation? 🎄 It's like a time capsule of old-school Hollywood magic! I'm also stoked to see some of these lesser-known gems like "The Wrecking Crew" get the spotlight – it's always exciting to discover new films that showcase innovative storytelling and cinematography. 🤩 The Library of Congress is doing an incredible job preserving our cinematic heritage, and I'm so grateful for their efforts! 💕

🤔🎬 Some classics are worth preserving, I guess...
 
just saw this list of films in the news 🎥 and I'm thinking about how crazy it is that we're still learning about some of these classics from 1926 🤯 like "Sparrows" and "Ten Nights in a Barroom". those old movies must have been some wild times 🌃. and then you got your newer films like "The Truman Show" which is so relevant even though it came out over 25 years ago 📺. I mean, we can still relate to the themes of reality TV and social commentary in it today. also love that they included some lesser-known gems like "The Wrecking Crew" - who knew that one was a hidden treasure? 🎸
 
🤔 what's the real reason they're picking these movies again? Is it just about preserving our cinematic history or is there something more to it? I mean, "Philadelphia" is great and all, but why are they also throwing in some oldies like "Sparrows" from 1926? Are we supposed to forget that those early films were made with some pretty shady labor practices back then? 🤑

And what about the newer ones? Is it just a coincidence that they chose "The Truman Show" and "White Christmas", two movies that are basically total opposites in terms of their messages and themes? I think there's more to this than meets the eye... 👀
 
I just saw this thread about the latest additions to the National Film Registry and I'm like, totally impressed 😊. I mean, "The Thing" from 1982 is actually a pretty cool choice - it's one of those horror classics that still holds up today 👻. And I love that they included some older films like "Sparrows" (1926) and "Ten Nights in a Barroom" (1926). Those oldies but goodies are definitely worth watching 🎥.

I'm also stoked to see some more indie films on the list, like "The Wrecking Crew". It's always great to see more underdog stories getting recognized for their cultural significance 💪. And of course, who can forget about Tom Hanks' iconic performance in "Philadelphia"? That film still moves me to tears 🤯.

Overall, I think this is a pretty awesome list and it's amazing that the Library of Congress is doing its part to preserve our cinematic heritage 🎬
 
What's up with these picks tho? I mean, "White Christmas" from 1954 is cool and all, but come on, 2008's "The Wrecking Crew"? That's like adding a new chapter to a historical novel. Don't get me wrong, it's a great film and all, but it's not exactly a landmark of American cinema 🤔. And what about the indie films? Where's the love for some underground flicks that actually matter? I'm all for preservation, but can we not just pick some mainstream favorites every time?
 
OMG 🤩 I'm so hyped about this new list from the Library of Congress! They're finally giving some love to the classics like "Philadelphia" (1993) and "White Christmas" (1954) - those are my fave Tom Hanks movies 💕 I've seen them a million times and they never get old 🙌 And can you believe they chose "The Thing" (1982) too? That's like, one of the scariest movies EVER 🎃👻 I'm not surprised they picked it, though - John Carpenter is a genius! 👏 Anyway, I'm so stoked to see these films on this list - it's like a dream come true for film buffs like me 💫
 
I'm not sure why they're still including super old movies like "Sparrows" and "Ten Nights in a Barroom" on the registry... I mean, they're classics and all, but some of them are like, over 90 years old! 🤯 It's crazy to think about how much technology has changed since then. And don't get me wrong, I love old Hollywood movies like "White Christmas", but some of these other films just seem so... outdated. Like, who even watches "The Wrecking Crew" anymore? 😒
 
I don't think it's fair to leave out "The Wrecking Crew" (2008) 🤔 I mean, come on! It's like they're trying to erase this awesome 70s B-movie from history 😅 But seriously, I get why the Library of Congress would include all these other films - they've got some real cultural significance. Like "Philadelphia" is a groundbreaking drama that tackled some tough issues back in '93 🙌 And don't even get me started on "Say Amen, Somebody" - that's just a masterclass in music and faith 🎶. Anyway, I think it's awesome that they're preserving all these films for future generations to enjoy 📚💕
 
Just saw this list on the internet 🤩 - totally made me feel all nostalgic and stuff! I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' Hollywood classic like "White Christmas" from 1954? 😊 It's crazy to think that those films have been around for over 70 years now. And to see some of my favorite indie faves on the list too, like "The Wrecking Crew", is just amazing! 🎥 I feel so lucky that they're still being preserved and recognized for their cultural significance. It's a great reminder of how important it is to save our cinematic history before it gets lost forever 💔📚
 
Another excuse for the US government to justify their existence: preserving classic movies 🎥. I mean, who doesn't love the idea of the library of congress deciding what's good and worthy of being saved? It's not like they're just trying to boost tourism or anything... 😜. Anyway, it's cool that they've included some older films like "Sparrows" from 1926 - that's like, ancient movie history 🕰️. And I'm surprised to see a horror classic like "The Thing" making the cut... guess that's what happens when you put a body horror masterpiece in the same list as family-friendly white christmas musicals 🎄👻.
 
aww man these classic movies are literally the best 🤩 I'm so glad to see "Philadelphia" and "The Truman Show" on the list, they're both super important films that tackled some really tough topics. and "White Christmas" is just a holiday staple, you can't go wrong with Bing Crosby 😊 what's crazy is how these movies have stood the test of time, it's amazing to see how well they still hold up today 🎥💫
 
🎥 The National Film Registry is like a super cool time capsule for movies 🕰️! I love seeing old classics like "White Christmas" (1954) and "The Wrecking Crew" (2008) get the recognition they deserve. It's awesome to see how diverse the list is too - from classic Hollywood films to independent flicks like "Philadelphia" (1993). 🤩 What's even better is that it's not just about the big-name movies, but also about hidden gems like "Say Amen, Somebody" (1982) and "Sparrows" (1926) which are probably going to be a total trip for some people 😅. And can we talk about how some of these films are being preserved from way back in 1926? That's wild! 🤯
 
🎥 another bunch of old movies getting saved... finally. I mean, who wouldn't want "White Christmas" (1954) and "The Wrecking Crew" (2008) to be preserved? Not like we're living in a world where good films are being made everyday 🙄. And yeah, it's awesome that some indie flicks from the 80s and 90s are making the cut... I guess it's better than nothing 😐. What really gets me is why they had to include "The Wrecking Crew" in this list... was there something specific about that film that made it worthy of preservation? 🤔🎬
 
🎥👍 I'm lovin' this list! It's amazing to see all these classic flicks make it to the National Film Registry. You know what's weird? I remember watchin' "The Thing" with my friends back in high school and we were all like "what the heck just happened?" 😂 And then there's "White Christmas", that one's a holiday staple, right? It's awesome to see some of these oldies gettin' the recognition they deserve. I'm also stoked to see some indie films like "The Wrecking Crew" on the list - it's great to see smaller films gettin' the nod too! 🎬 What really gets me is how this list represents a piece of our shared history and culture, you know? It's like we're all sittin' around the campfire swappin' stories 'bout old movies...
