Two movie musicals have been added to the U.S. National Film Registry, Tim Burton's 1993 stop-motion animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas and Fame, the 1980 film about students at New York's High School of Performing Arts (now the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts).

The program, established in 1989, selects 25 "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" movies annually to showcase the range and diversity of American filmmaking and create awareness for their preservation.

This year's list is otherwise light on theatre-adjacent films, with other titles including Home Alone, Lady and the Tramp, Apollo 13, and Bamboozled.

Previous inductees have included the movie adaptations of Carmen Jones, Cabaret, Show Boat (1936), West Side Story, The Sound of Music, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The Music Man, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Oklahoma!, Porgy and Bess, Funny Girl, My Fair Lady, and On the Town.

Nominations are being accepted for the 2024 registry and can be submitted online through August 15, 2024. For more information, click here.
