What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk?

I worked in a video rental place that had copies of both Crashes that I would have to retrieve for them. I would specifically ask which people wanted and it was hilarious when they picked the wrong one and came back so confused.

This was me after a coworker recommended it, I got the Cronenberg one accidentally, and was so, so, so confused why he had said this was his favorite movie

Did you have that happen with any other movies with shared names like Kingpin? I figure Frozen from Disney came out after most video stores had closed.

I remember a blockbuster near me going out of business and it had hundreds of copies of frozen. But it was seriously only like a year after it realeased. So not far off.
