As well they should! The National Film Registry has announced the 25 films selected this year for preservation as American landmarks, and the classic 1980 spoof was among them. Also included: short films ranging from the 30-second 1891 clip Newark Athlete to George Lucas’s college short Electronic Labyrinth: THX 1138 4EB (never fear, Star Wars fans: The Empire Strikes Back also made the cut), and features including All the President’s Men, Grey Gardens, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Exorcist, and Malcolm X.
