Are Sir PJ's LotR and Hobbit double trilogies worthy of inclusion . . .

In the USA's Library of Congress' National Film Registry? I see that many movies that were produced overseas are included in LoC's NFR so I see no reason they won't. If they just included Ferris Buhler's Day Off and Will Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in it this year, I can't see why the double trilogies won't be preserved forever in the USA. Does New Zealand have a national film registry?

started out, oddly enough, as an attempt to fight the brief fad for colorizing films. Fortunately that fad died quickly, but the Registry keeps on functioning. I would imagine that they would eventually put Peter's films on the list.
The films that go on the Registry, by the way, are nominated by a committee of film-studies academics. They have to provide rationales for their choices. (Obviously there are a lot of reasons, artistic, technical, social, etc.) I know one person on that committee, and he's an excellent film historian.
