Agreed. I've warmed up to some movies just as I've soured on some over time.
This is why I can only laugh when I see things like people giving brand new releases 10/10 scores and saying it's the best or top 10 or movies of all time. There is just no viable way to reconcile and come to such a drastic conclusion immediately after walking out of the theater. Unless you're a robot.
I have a Top 100 Movies of All Time list (which I'm now reminded that I need to dig up and revisit sometime). And it's always been constantly in flux, including the Top 20 (most of which were released well before the year 2000). For instance, my Top 5 are pretty much always: RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK, JAWS, CASABLANCA, SEVEN SAMURAI and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA... but the 1-5 ranking of those is always re-arranging.
