[Quiet Man Cometh]

Hee hee. Blazing Saddles is actually in the National Film Registry as a movie that has culture/cinematic value. There was a documentary on the registry called These Amazing Shadows (I think) that was quite interesting to watch. I think I'll put that on here!

8. These Amazing Shadows (2011)

A documentary about the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress. The registry was started to preserve films that were seen have cultural or cinematic value, such as through what they represented, how they reflected society, or what they added to cinema in terms of special effects, stuff that is in general noteworthy.

What I find interesting is that to qualify for the registry, a film must be at least 10 years old, so the "flavour of the month" film isn't going to get accepted. It includes short film, movies, new reels, etc.
