"I'll be back" now has a whole new meaning.

The Hollywood Reporter posts that good ol' Arnold Schwarzenegger will soon be immortalized in DC not for his politics, but for his killing machine. The Library of Congress/National Film Registry has selected 25 films to be preserved in the registry. The choices must be "culturally, historically, or aesthetically" significant, and James Cameron's 1984 film The Terminator leads the pack with its "ingenious, thoughtful script ... and relentless, nonstop action."

And it's a pretty interesting mix of films that will go along with Arnie. We're talking The Invisible Man, Deliverance, In Cold Blood, The Pawnbroker, The Killers, Johnny Guitar, The Asphalt Jungle, A Face in the Crowd, Sergeant York, Disneyland Dream, Flower Drum Song, Free Radicals, Hallelujah, The March, No Lies, On the Bowery, The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, George Stevens WWII Footage, Water and Power, White plus silent films like The Perils of Pauline, One Week, So's Your Old Man, White Fawn's Devotion, and Foolish Wives.

Does Schwarzenegger fit right into this list? Are there others that should trump the Terminator? Sound off below!

Considering that they add to the list every year, I'm pretty sure that any film they haven't picked that deserved to be pick would be picked.
 


Saw this in the paper and thought it was pretty cool. It definitely deserved to be in there although I gotta think it may be the only Arnold film that makes it!
 



Deliverance is an amazing film - one of my favorites - and one that has never failed to spark fascinating discussions about morality and survival every time I have had someone watch it (a lot of people don't seem to realize that there is more to the film than Ned Beatty getting raped).

Man....I try to make a pointless, amusing quip and you hit me with a thoughtful and intelligent reply.......
You do realize this is the internet right? :lol:

I actually do like the movie but you are right that no one remembers anything about it except that one scene.
