If you’ve ever felt the need to defend your love for Jame’s Cameron’s [1997 blockbuster _Titanic_](http://time.com/5017163/titanic-jack-door-theory/), it’s finally time to come out of the shadows. The movie is one of 25 new additions to the [National Film Registry](http://time.com/4600173/national-film-registry-announcement-2016-films/), meaning the Library of Congress believes Jack and Rose’s love story to be worthy of preservation as part of America’s cultural and historical heritage.

_Dumbo_, Disney’s 1941 Oscar-winning animation, is also included in the list, as well as the 1967 classic _Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner_, starring Sidney Poitier and Katharine Hepburn. Other notable films selected for inclusion in the National Film Registry are _Memento_, Christopher Nolan’s 2000 psychological thriller; _The Goonies,_ the beloved 1985 adventure film executive produced by Steven Spielberg; and Spike Lee’s 1997 documentary about the 1963 firebombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, _4 Little Girls_. Also included are the 1978 _Superman_ starring Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel and 1988’s _Die Hard_ — just in time for [Christmas](http://time.com/3634524/christmas-movies-unconventional/).

The new entries bring the number of films included in the National Film Registry to 725 — a small fraction of the Library of Congress’ moving-image collection of 1.3 million items. [Last year’s new entries](http://time.com/4600173/national-film-registry-announcement-2016-films/) included _The Lion King_, _The Breakfast Club_ and _Who Framed Roger Rabbit._ To qualify for inclusion, a film needs to be at least 10 years old.

Below is the full list of films newly named to the registry, in alphabetical order:

_Ace in the Hole (aka Big Carnival)_ (1951)

_Boulevard Nights_ (1979)

_Die Hard_ (1988)

_Dumbo_ (1941)

_Field of Dreams_ (1989)

_4 Little Girls_ (1997)

_Fuentes Family Home Movies Collection_ (1920s and 1930s)

_Gentleman’s Agreement_ (1947)

_The Goonies_ (1985)

_Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner_ (1967)

_He Who Gets Slapped_ (1924)

_Interior New York Subway, 14th Street to 42nd Street_ (1905)
