"The registry should not be seen as 'the Kennedy Center Honors,' 'the Academy Awards' or even 'America's Most Beloved Films,' " Librarian of Congress James H. Billington said Wednesday, adding that the list is meant to "advance public awareness of the richness, creativity and variety of American film heritage."Since its inception in 1989, the registry has guaranteed that 450 films, including this year's selections, would not rot away or sit neglected in a studio warehouse.This year, the must-save flicks span the years from 1913 to 1996 and include indisputable favorites, like Notorious, headlined by the legendary Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant, and those features that never quite made it to the mainstream, such as 1916's The Curse of Quon Gwon, the earliest Chinese-American feature, and Daughter of Shanghai, a thriller starring the first Asian-American movie star, Anna May Wong.Among the more well-known films making the cut: 1930's The Big Trail, a western starring a then unknown John Wayne; Red Dust, the 1932 melodrama featuring the saucy pairing of Clark Gable and Jean Harlow; and sex, lies, and videotape, Steven Soderbergh's 1989 breakthrough relationship film that reinvigorated independent cinema.Also on the list: Mary Pickford's big-screen debut in 1914's Tess of the Storm Country; Flesh and the Devil, one of the last great silent films and the first pairing between a sacrificial Greta Garbo and John Gilbert; The T.A.M.I. Show (standing for "Teen Age Music International"), a 1964 concert film featuring the Rolling Stones and James Brown, among other legendary performers; and the 1929 musical St. Louis Blues, containing the only film recording of blues legend Bessie Smith.Proving that reality is just as worthy as the world of make-believe, six documentaries were chosen: 1988's Drums of Winter, chronicling the plight of the Eskimos; Harry Smith's decades-spanning Early Abstractions #1-5, 7, 10, a moving collage of art, color, shapes and imagery; 1948's In the Street, a children's documentary about life in East Harlem; 1971's Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania, an avant-garde feature following filmmaker Jonas Mekas' return to his birthplace; 1940's Siege, showcasing the German bombardment of Warsaw; and Think of Me As a Person, a nearly two-decade chronicle of the relationship between a father and his Down syndrome-suffering son.Rounding out this year's registry selections: 1929's Applause, an early sound-era film about burlesque theater from stage director Rouben Mamoulian; 1928's The Last Command, which featured the Academy Award-winning performance of Emil Jannings as an exiled Russian general; and 1954's A Time Out of War, a student film set in the Civil War that took home the Oscar for Best Short.Send ItCloseSend to a FriendCheck your e-mail, your friend's e-mail and message text are filled correctlyYour friend's email:Your email address:Message:1000 SendText ENEWS to 4INFO (44636) for daily celeb news alerts — standard messaging rates apply.PRINTERFRIENDLYPolygramPhotosFeatured Celebrities (9)Alfred HitchcockBill MurraySylvester StalloneJamie Lee CurtisMel BrooksEthan CoenJoel CoenSteven SoderberghThe Rolling Stones ExpandRelated Stories (4)ExpandWoody, Spicoli Get ArchivedTue Dec 27 11:45:00 PST 2005 0 comments"Schindler," "Ben-Hur" Make HistoryTue Dec 28 14:30:00 PST 2004 0 comments"Butch and Sundance" Live!Wed Dec 17 14:30:00 PST 2003 0 comments"Spinal Tap," "Alien" Deemed ClassicsWed Dec 18 14:00:00 PST 2002 0 commentsRelated Topics ()Related Topics (1)ExpandKudosRead Comments (0)ExpandExpand All | Collapse All Add Your Comments ExpandLogin now to add your comments!Email:SubmitKeep me signed inPassword:Forgot your password | Register RSS | Newsletters | E!
