"When we preserve films, we preserve American culture for generations to come. These selections for the National Film Registry show us that films are instrumental in capturing important parts of our nation's story," Acting Librarian of Congress Robert R. Newlen said in a statement Thursday.

"We are proud to continue this important work, adding a broad range of 25 films to the National Film Registry as a collective effort in the film community to protect our cinematic heritage."

TCM will host a television special on March 19, highlighting a selection of films named to the registry this year.
