Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” to be preserved forever
Established in 1989, The National Film Registry chooses films that are to be preserved perpetually. Films that have created a significant contribution “culturally, historically or aesthetically”. Apparently, Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” like we all know, have been a significant and visible contribution to culture and history…
Eonline.com published a list which includes the following. Have you seen all of these movies? I think I can only name two… it’s Dog Day Afternoon and Thriller. Heck, I didn’t even see The Muppet Movie. But I guess two from the list gives me some “culture” – - at least.
