Wow, I have a rather bad headache, and I was planning on just going to sleep. Yet, after reading on Cinematical that The Muppet Movie was inducted into the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, I got so excited I couldn't resist. For those of you not in the know, the National Film Registry was set up by the National Film Preservation Act of 1988, that allows the Library of Congress to select 25 films a year for preservation in honor of being "culturally, historically or aesthetically significant films". This year, heading up the list is Jim Henson's lovable felt creatures in their debut feature film, 1979's The Muppet Movie, directed by James Frawley. Other noteworthy additions this year is Michael Jackson's long form groundbreaking music video Thriller, directed by John Landis, Sidney Lumet's Dog Day Afternoon, Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West, the 1959 romantic comedy Pillow Talk and the avant-garde 1949 short film The Lead Shoes. I also cannot go to bed until I pass along something awesome that Geekologie posted, an amazing replica of the Back to the Future DeLorean time machine from eBay.
