The Library of Congress established the National Film Registry in 1989 to highlight the need to preserve U.S. film heritage. Under the conditions of the National Film Preservation Act, the librarian of Congress names 25 films yearly that are “culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.” The films must be at least 10 years old.
The films selected for 2012 are:
“3:10 to Yuma” (1957): Delmar Daves directed this western based on a short story by Elmore Leonard.
“Anatomy of a Murder” (1959): Otto Preminger directed this courtroom thriller that made headlines for its frankness in language and adult themes.
“The Augustas” (1930s-1950s): A 16-minute film by traveling salesman Scott Nixon, who was a member of the Amateur Cinema League, chronicling some 38 streets, storefronts and cities named Augusta.
“Born Yesterday” (1950): Judy Holliday won a best actress Oscar as not-so-dumb-blonde Billie Dawn in this political satire directed by George Cukor.
“Breakfast at Tiffany’s” (1961): Audrey Hepburn plays one of her quintessential roles — the quirky Manhattan call girl Holly Golighty — in this romantic dramedy based on Truman Capote’s novella.
“A Christmas Story” (1983): Humorist Jean Shepherd narrates this classic holiday comedy based on his memoirs of growing up in Indiana and hoping to receive a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas.
“The Corbett-Fitzsimmons Title Fight” (1897): Chronicle of the famed boxing match between James J. Corbett — aka “Gentleman Jim” — and Bob Fitzsimmons that was held on St. Patrick’s Day in Carson City, Nev.
“Dirty Harry” (1971): Clint Eastwood introduced his iconic role as maverick San Francisco Det. Harry Callahan in Don Siegel’s influential action-thriller.
“Hours for Jerome: Parts 1 and 2” (1980-82) : Experimental filmmaker Nathaniel Dorsky’s silent tone poem.
“The Kidnappers Foil” (1930s-1950s): Dallas native Melton Barker traveled through the South and Midwest for three decades filming local kids acting, singing and dancing in two-reel films he called “The Kidnappers Foil.” A few weeks after shooting, the townspeople would get a copy of the film for screening at the local theater.
“Kodachrome Color Motion Picture Tests“ (1922): The two-color (greenish blue and red) film was the first publicly demonstrated color film to attract the attention of the film industry.

Hollywood actor Keanu Reeves was spotted taking a stroll with a mystery woman (ehem all the fans know it’s his friend Automn McIntosh (reminder: http://keanulover.wordpress.com/2009/01/27/keanu-reeves-and-autumn-mcintosh-having-lunch-in-brentwood/) on Wilshire Boulevard. They went to the hotel Thomson in Beverly Hills, California. 08/12/12.
Heya,
I wanted to thank Keanu Reeves fans for all the Birthday wishes they sent me yesterday here or on Facebook, you made my day with your nice messages.
I got a lot of presents for my birthday and enjoyed a good time with my family. I still feel I am 30 even if I turned 50 yesterday (but shhhhht … don’t say it to anybody it’s top secret, hehehe).
Keanu fans are wonderful people and we built a solid relationship over the years, I kept the good friends I met 10 years ago, I visited some of them or they visited me. This strong friendship enlightens my day to day life and I am very glad and honored to be your friend.
Thank you Keanu for this marvelous present, you are much more than an actor even if you don’t know it 
I asked all my friends to send me Keanu on my birthday but he was too busy I guess LOL. Never mind, I can watch his movies every day as I have them all on my shelves, I can follow him via internet every day, and when I checked all my archived pictures I realized that I could even get a kiss from him (see below)
Many thanks to Keanu and all his fans. I already wish you Happy Holidays guys.
Hugs and Kisses
Cali
