LOS ANGELES, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- The Library of Congress said Tuesday it has added 25 films, including "Patton" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," to the National Film Registry.
Under the National Film Preservation Act, the librarian of Congress names 25 "culturally, historically or aesthetically" important movies to the registry each year, to honor America's film heritage and promote public support for its preservation.
This year's sections include "Atlantic City"; "Gold Diggers of 1933"; "National Velvet"; "Naughty Marietta" and "Young Mr. Lincoln." The list also includes legendary animator Chuck Jones' "One Froggy Evening" and an early Pixar animated short, "Tin Toy."
The list includes films from as early as 1894 to as recent at 1988. The latest additions bring the total number of films on the registry to 375.
