In a year in which Michael Jackson has received an array of posthumous tributes, the Library of Congress will end things with yet another nod to the superstar's greatness. Jackson's 14-minute short film "Thriller" was announced as one of 25 works chosen to be preserved in the U.S. National Film Registry for 2009. The Library of Congress said that the John Landis directed video featuring Jackson as a zombie "revolutionized the music industry."
