The Library of Congress has selected a new batch of movies for the National Film Registry, and "Philadelphia" made the cut. Though his employers claim his performance was the problem, the lawyer (played by Tom Hanks) believes he was fired over his sexuality and AIDS diagnosis. His peers are initially reluctant to help, but a Black personal injury lawyer (played by Denzel Washington) eventually takes his case. "Philadelphia" is one of 25 new additions to the National Film Registry, which selects works for preservation each year. With the latest entries, the National Film Registry now lists 925 American movies.
