The United States National Film Registry reserves several films based on "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significance." The Registry lists a whole range of films based on national importance (such as the Zapruder film or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), groundbreaking classics (a la Citizen Kane or Casablanca), and revered feature comedies (Airplane!, Groundhogs Day). One such entry that should be under consideration is R. Kelly's 2005 Rap Opera "Trapped in the Closet" as it clearly falls under cultural, historical, and aesthetic significance among much else. Of course films must be at least 10 years old for consideration to the Registry, but we the people believe congress has the power to make this obvious exception.
