3) The Cameraman (1928)
4) Commandment Keeper Church, Beaufort South Carolina, May 1940 (1940)
5) Cool Hand Luke (1967)
6) Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982)
7) The French Connection (1971)
8) Giant (1956)
9) H2O (1929)
10) Hands Up (1926)
11) Hoop Dreams (1994)
12) House of Usher (1960)
13) Imitation of Life (1934)
14) Jeffries-Johnson World's Championship Boxing Contest (1910)

18) The Music Man (1962)
19) Power of the Press (1928)
20) A Raisin in the Sun (1961)
21) The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)
22) San Francisco Earthquake and FireApril 18, 1906 (1906)
23) The Sting (1973)
24) A Time for Burning (1966)
25) Toy Story (1995)
A lot of these are historically important pieces of film that one can't really argue against congress preserving. I applaud a number of the films on the list (e.g., The Sting, Miracle on 34th Street, Cool Hand Luke), and while I think it's a great film, I don't know how in need of special preservation efforts Toy Story is. But I do have to admit that I could think of some better candidates than Rocky Horror or Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
