'Titanic,' 'Goonies,' 'Die Hard,' 'Dumbo' included on National Film Registry
Die Hard, Dumbo, The Goonies, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, La Bamba and Titanic have been selected for inclusion on the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress.
Made between 1905 and 2000, this collection of movies brings the number in the registry to 725.
"The selection of a film to the National Film Registry recognizes its importance to American cinema and the nation's cultural and historical heritage," Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden said in a statement Wednesday. "Our love affair with motion pictures is a testament to their enduring power to enlighten, inspire and inform us as individuals and a nation as a whole. Being tasked with selecting only 25 each year is daunting because there are so many great films deserving of this honor."
The 2017 entries on the roster also include Ace in the Hole, Boulevard Nights, Field of Dreams, 4 Little Girls, Fuentes Family Home Movies Collection, Gentleman's Agreement, He Who Gets Slapped, Interior New York Subway, 14th Street to 42nd Street, Lives of Performers, Memento, Only Angels Have Wings, The Sinking of the Lusitania, Spartacus, Superman, Thelonious Monk: Straight, No Chaser, Time and Dreams, To Sleep with Anger, Wanda and With the Abraham Lincoln Brigade in Spain.

Which rapper has teased a future appearance on 'Sesame Street'?
Chance the Rapper teased on Twitter Tuesday that he will be appearing on an upcoming episode of Sesame Street.
Chance posted two videos from the set of the long-running educational program including a clip of himself speaking with Oscar the Grouch.
"Honestly I'm just tired of people saying my music is trash," Chance is heard saying to Oscar in reference to how the character lives in a garbage can.
Chance also uploaded a video of himself giving a shout-out to his 3-year-old daughter Kensli with help from Sesame Street characters such as Elmo and the Cookie Monster.
"Just got done at work, see ya soon baby," the 24-year-old captioned the video which includes the Sesame Street crew also saying hi to Kensli.
Chance recently hosted Saturday Night Live in November where he was seen holding a dance party with members of the cast in order to shake off some pre-show jitters.
