That is true, but that's also very common in our own little worlds because even when we look at the past through our life, we try to remember the good over the bad. It's just a pychological flaw in humans I guess.

But you're right, some of the best movies were overlooked, while crappy ones were led to fame. I believe this happened with A Clockwork Orange, and I know it happened with Donnie Darko (not an awesome movie but definitely a cult classic worth watching). DD flopped in the movies, then behold, a year later becomes a very well known and liked movie.
