National Film Registry: Complete List—2025/26 Update

The National Film Preservation Board has released their 25 annual additions to the National Film Registry, so here is the current list as of 1/29/26--a total of 925 films selected for "historical, cultural and aesthetic contributions".
And I'm NOT bitter *at all* that *none* of the films that I nominated were selected.... AGAIN.... it's like they don't even *listen* to me....
List image (clockwise from top left): The Incredibles; Sparrows; Philadelphia; Brooklyn Bridge
