The science-fiction classic "Terminator 2: Judgment Day," starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as a cyborg from the future; "Apollo 13," Ron Howard's acclaimed dramatization of a catastrophic mission to the moon and NASA's efforts to get the astronauts back alive; and "Home Alone," a beloved Christmas comedy about a boy fending off a pair of bumbling burglars, are among the films named today to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, to be preserved for future generations.
Each year since 1989, 25 motion pictures are inducted into the Registry, chosen for their cultural, historic and aesthetic importance to America's film heritage. Movies from all genres are included, after being nominated by filmmakers, academics, and film fans.
Other additions this year include the Disney animated feature "Lady and the Tramp" and Tim Burton's stop-motion "The Nightmare Before Christmas"; the musical "Fame," starring Irene Cara; "Desperately Seeking Susan," a comedy starring Madonna and Rosanna Arquette; and John Sayles' drama of union organizers in coal country, "Matewan."
