[quote="The Lionvengers"]The movie needs to be at least a decade old and have shown cultural significance.
The breakfast club was just added and that movie is 31 years old.
By now tlk has hit the same level of pop culture importance as a lot of walt era disney films.[/quote]
I know the ten-year rule. Even Toy Story was registered at the Library of Congress by the end of its ten-year existence in 2005. I wouldn't say by now Lion King has hit the epitome of cultural significance because it certainly was abundant in pop culture since its initial release as it referenced and parodied multiple times on television programs, spawned two best-selling sequels, and had a popular, award-winning Broadway musical to keep its brand alive — and all within a span of ten years. Even the 2011 re-release brought more attention to the film.
But like I said, better late than never.
