1984 sci-fi film to be preserved

He'll be back... again and again and again.

"The Terminator," which starred Arnold Schwarzenegger as a killer cyborg sent back in time, will be added to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, according to The Hollywood Reporter. That means a print of the film will be vaulted as protection against deterioration... perhaps to be unleashed in a post-apocalyptic future ruled by sentient machines?

Other films added to the Registry this year are "Hallelujah" (1929); "In Cold Blood" (1967); and "Deliverance" (1972). The first film featured an all-African-American cast, while "In Cold Blood" adapted Truman Capote's "true-crime novel" and "Deliverance"... well, "Deliverance" thinks you got a purty mouth.

Meanwhile, the killer machines return next May with "Terminator: Salvation."
