Steve Legett, the National Film Preservation Board's (NFPB) co-ordinator, said "the time was right" for Thriller's inclusion after Jackson's death earlier this year. "Because of the way the recording industry is evolving and changing, we thought it would be good to go back to the development of an earlier seismic shift, the development of the music video," he added. The landmark video, which was directed by John Landis and features Jackson as a werewolf and zombie, helped the star to promote his album Thriller around the world. The final 25 films are picked every year from hundreds of public nominations and consultation with the NFPB. They are not necessarily the biggest box office hits or major award winners, but are considered to be of national significance. "By preserving the nation's films, we safeguard a significant element of our cultural patrimony and history," said Librarian of Congress James H Billington.
I'm a little sad, would this happen if Micahel was alive?
