National Film Registry 2014 Inductees

Way back in 2011 I listed 25 potential inductees I thought should be included in the National Film Registry. Since that time some of my choices have been added:

“Appalachian Spring – documentary, 1959. Why?: Recreates the influential 1944 premier performance choreographed by Martha Graham.” The Registry inducted the early films of Graham, from 1931-44, including the original Appalachian Spring performance. 2012 inductee.

“Pulp Fiction – narrative feature, 1994.” 2013 inductee.

“The Times of Harvey Milk – documentary, 1984. Why?: Preserves documentary footage of the early gay rights movement in America, and its leader Harvey Milk.” 2013 inductee.

So I’ve recreated my list, with some changes based on an enhanced knowledge over the past four years of America’s cinema. Here are my new 25 desired inductees.
