(CNN) - "The Big Lebowski," "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and "Saving Private Ryan" have long been national treasures, but the Library of Congress just made it official.
Every year, the library's National Film Registry selects 25 movies to be added to its roster with the intent of preserving them for "all time." The idea is to collect the projects that best represent "the extraordinary diversity of America's film heritage" and are "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant."

I wonder if it's the version with unfiltered language.

Sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man.
Well, I lost my train of thought here.

Ever see Cache'? French, I think. Thriller. Can't find anyone who's heard of it.

They should have put Welcome to Collinwood on that list.
That is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

It will get in, but I'm sure it will need a few years. It suffers the same way as King's novels do, too proletariat to garner attention from the list makers. Tarantino isn't on there either.

Got a problem with IMDb's Top 250. Too many questionable (recent) blockbusters up there, fanboys just ten-starring their faves over and over. And Shawshank best of all time? Great film, but c'mon.

So you're sayin' there's a chance.

Watch Jeff Bridges Revive ‘Big Lebowski’ Character ‘The Dude’ at John Goodman’s Walk of Fame Ceremony
http://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/watch-jeff-bridges-revive-%E2%80%98big-lebowski%E2%80%99-character-%E2%80%98the-dude%E2%80%99-at-john-goodman%E2%80%99s-walk-of-fame-ceremony/ar-AAo7uBf?li=BBmkt5R&ocid=spartandhp
Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski was brought back to life on Hollywood Boulevard, but this time, he was the one who delivered a eulogy for a friend, and it ended with “Good afternoon, sweet prince,” rather than good night.
At John Goodman’s Walk of Fame ceremony, Jeff Bridges donned “The Dude’s” signature, quirky, knit sweater, and delivered a typically rambling and hilarious rendition of the eulogy that Walter reads over Donny’s grave in the 1998 Coen Brothers cult classic “The Big Lebowski.”
Bridges asked Goodman to hold his suit and bag for him, and as he drew out “The Dude’s” poncho-like garment, a loud cheer erupted from the crowd when they realized one of the cinema’s most iconic slackers was about to be reincarnated in front of them.
“He’s a good actor, he’s a good man, John Goodman,” Bridges began. “He’s one of us, he loves the outdoors and acting. As a showman, he has explored the stages from Los Angeles to New York — we’re talking Broadway here, man — he’s done some weird little movies, too. And he’s lived, like so many men in prior generations have lived their lives. He is a man of his times, a man of our times, and he has become a legend.”
As Bridges delivered his version of the eulogy, Goodman laughed uncontrollably in the background.
Bridges continued, “In your wisdom lord, you have lived through John as you have through so many other bright, flowering, young actors before him. I’m talking about men like Clark Gable, Gabby Hayes, Roy Rogers — to keep in the whole Western thing — Groucho Marx, Jimmy Cagney. We could go on and on, but you get the idea.”
“In accordance with what we think may be your final wishes, we have committed to these sidewalks in Hollywood — in the bosom of Hollywood that you love so well — a star. A star for you, a star because we love you so well … what time is it? Afternoon? Good afternoon, sweet prince,” Bridges concluded, changing the film’s most famous line to reflect the ceremony’s time of day.
The heartwarming, poignant moment continued after Bridges finished, as the actors knelt at each other’s feet, before rising to warmly embrace.
