The National Film Registry will be announcing the inductees for 2013 on December 18th so I thought I would share the films I chose. It should be noted that I had a list of about 80 titles but I took off the newer ones because I could nominate them at a later time. My number 1 pick was the, probably, little known Go for Broke! since it tells the story of Japanese-American soldiers during WWII. The rest were relatively standard fair.
