THOMAS JEFFERSON'S SCREENING ROOM: In addition to providing us with an overly alphanumeric system for finding books in a large library, the Library of Congress keeps a film registry of films which are "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant, and announced 25 new inductees this year. A rather eclectic group this year, managing to find space for 12 Angry Men, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Dances With Wolves, Back To The Future, Bullitt, Oklahoma!, and the intriguingly titled The Sex Life of the Polyp. Want to express your rage over Costner's newfound honor or espouse the awesomeness of BTTF? Do so in the comments.
