All the hype surrounding this years list is about The Terminator being added to the registry but I am most excited about Hallelujah‘s inclusion. Directed by King Vidor, it is one of the first all-black cast studio pictures and is a huge departure from its contemporaries in its honest depiction of African-American life. If you have seen this 1929 musical, you really must check it out.
