Michael J. Fox takes us Back to the Future! During his “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” gala, the actor whipped out his guitar, got on stage, and rocked out to Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” a-la Marty McFly – and may we say, he sounded pretty good!

Here’s Michael J. Fox playing “Johnny B. Goode” now…

Here he is in his playing the song in the classic 1985 Back to the Future.

The dude’s still got it!

But Michael’s performance got us thinking – which classic movie performances would you love to see re-enacted live? So we came up with a few that we know we would just die to witness!

First up – Matthew Broderick singing “Twist and Shout,” as he did in Ferris Beuller’s Day Off. Need we say more? I still sing along every time.

Even though he’s lip synching and the only music he is playing is air guitar, this classic scene of Tom Cruise rocking out to Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock ‘N Roll” in Risky Business will never get old.

One performance we would have loved to see, though, is a re-enactment of Heath Ledger’s display of affection in 10 Things I Hate About You, singing Frankie Valley and the Four Seasons’ “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” in an attempt to win over Kat Stratford’s heart so he can make some cash. Despite the sub-par vocals, it makes my heart melt every time.

Marty McFly, a dozen angry men and UFOs are just a few of the newest additions to the U.S. National Film Registry.

The Library of Congress has chosen 25 “culturally, historically or aesthetically” significant films to be preserved for all time, among them the 1985 Michael J. Fox-starring comedy “Back To The Future,” the 1957 jury drama “12 Angry Men” and Steven Spielberg’s 1977 classic “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

“We’re always a little short on the science fiction genre, and this year we wanted to get more entries from the 1970s,” said Stephen Leggett, National Film Preservation Board staff director.

The new additions bring the total of films preserved in the Registry to 475.

Films are selected based on their artistry, their historical significance or their reflection of American culture.

Films must be at least ten years old to be eligible.

Some of the other new additions are:

Dances With Wolves (1990)
Days of Heaven (1978)
Bullitt (1968)
The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
12 Angry Men (1957)
