The Empire Strikes Back Added To National Film Registry

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the what-no-phantom-menace dept.

aztec1430 writes "Airplane!, The Empire Strikes Back, The Exorcist, and All the President's Men, were among the 25 films named by the Library of Congress to the National Film Registry on Tuesday for their cultural, historical or aesthetic significance.
