Michael Jackson’s Thriller – A National Treasure

Michael Jackson Thriller Inducted
Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” is going down in U.S. history as a national treasure. The video will has been inducted into the National Film Registry of the Library of Congress last Wednesday. It's the first music video named to the registry.

"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, which was the development of the music video" says Steve Leggett, coordinator of the National Film Preservation Board.

Alongside “Thriller” 24 other films including 1979's "The Muppet Movie", 1957 sci-fi epic "The Incredible Shrinking Man", "Once Upon a Time in the West" (1968), and "Jezebel" (1938), which starred Bette Davis were also inducted.

Movies inducted at the National Film Registry are not selected for how good they are, but for the importance they contributed to U.S. history.

It’s a shame that Michael Jackson isn’t here anymore to witness this amazing honor.
