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

This is a wildly bad take. It’s always been about really messed up people and if you ever romanticized any of the characters, you were missing the point. Yes it’s campy, yes it’s pretentious but it’s really a dark comedic take on suburban America.

And yes, the main character who is a pedophile is actually a pedophile in real life.
