Preserved for All-Time: The Big Lebowski

[Royalty]

http://www.cnn.com/2014/12/18/showbiz/movies/feat-big-lebowski-national-film-registry/?cid=homepage-ob-gc&iref=obnetwork


(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.

Liar. I know movies, like no-one's business, and then there's you. You're movie aces.

/yeah, i know all of those.

[The True Adonis]

Overrated movie in my opinion.

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

Sounds like a Melville flick!?

Shawshank Redemption did not seem to be on the list?

[thegamechanger]

shitty list. where is pumping iron?

[The True Adonis]

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.

Pulp Fiction is on there.

Hope this helps.

Thanks .

I still like Sight and Sound's list -

And I do have a soft spot for the IMDb's list, but some of the positions for certain films is  to my eye -

[thegamechanger]

if the list doesnt include pumping iron you cant take it seriously.

[El Diablo Blanco]

In a couple more years Dumber and Dumber too will be running Congress

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.
