Films like "Beverly Hills Cop" and "Spy Kids" will live on forever in cinema's hall of fame, better known as the National Film Registry.

The National Film Preservation Board announced Tuesday the 25 movies that are joining its sacred list, rounding out the total to 900. This year's class of movies range over a century and across genres, from the 1885 silent documentary "Annabelle Serpentine Dance" to the 2010 Facebook origin story "The Social Network."

Horror fans will be thrilled to see the 1974 cult classic "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," while sci-fi fans are rejoicing at the entry of "Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan."

More than 6,700 titles were considered to join the registry but a surmountable 25 will be cemented on the list, which has long honored classics like "When Harry Met Sally," "The Lion King," "Ghostbusters" and "The Godfather." Films are selected based on their "cultural, historic or aesthetic importance to preserve the nation’s film heritage," according to Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden.

"The wealth of American film history is sometimes rather overwhelming, and people often wonder: how do you recommend this film or that film?” National Film Preservation Board Chair Jacqueline Stewart said in a news release. "It's through a lot of research, conversation and discussion, and it's through a commitment to showing the true diversity of filmmaking."
