National Film Registry Spotlights Diverse Filmmakers in New Selections Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden announced today the annual selection of 25 of America's most influential motion pictures to be inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. These films range from the innovative silent film "Suspense," which was co-directed by a woman in 1913, and Sidney Poitier's Oscar-winning performance in 1963's "Lilies of the Field" to the 1978 mega-hit musical "Grease," 1980's musical comedy "The Blues Brothers," and one of the biggest public vote getters, Christopher Nolan's 2008 Batman film "The Dark Knight." Selected because of their cultural, historic or aesthetic importance to the nation's film heritage, the 2020 titles include blockbusters, musicals, silent films, documentaries and diverse stories transferred from books to screen. They bring the number of films selected for preservation in the registry to 800, a fraction of the 1.3 million films in the Library's collections. Click here for more information.
