The newest round of films to be included in the National Film Registry boasts a couple of familiar genre classics.  According to Variety, The Terminator (1984), The Invisible Man (1933), The Perils of Pauline (1914), and The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958) are among those enshrined.  The Registry strives to preserve films that have “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant bearing.  Each year, the selections are made by the Librarian of Congress after input from the public (via the Library’s website) and a board that includes the likes of Martin Scorcese and Leonard Maltin.
