Pop quiz: What do Marsellus Wallace and Mary Poppins have in common? Before today, nothing. But now, they’re both considered “historic.” That’s right, the Library of Congress announced their 2013 additions to their National Film Registry, and both Pulp Fiction and Mary Poppins were included.

This year’s selection of 25 films also includes the Philip Kaufman’s epic Tom Wolfe adaptation, The Right Stuff, famed rabble-rousing documentarian Michael Moore’s first film, Roger & Me, Mike Nichols’ famed 1966 adaptation of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, and the campy ’50s sci-fi cult classic Forbidden Planet. “The National Film Registry stands among the finest summations of more than a century of extraordinary American cinema,” the Library of Congress’ librarian, James H. Billington said in a release. “This key component of American cultural history, however, is endangered, so we must protect the nation’s matchless film heritage and cinematic creativity.”

Here’s the full list of the 25 additions to the Registry this year:
