"Citizen Kane" is a movie that comes to mind. It didn't do that well financially at first (1941) because Hearst made sure his newspapers didn't advertise. Maybe he didn't even need to say a thing -- people know how to get in line.
About 20 years later, movie critics started calling this the greatest movie of all-time. I wonder how that came about? And what other movies either became popular, or a movie that was popular, waned, and then suddenly had a resurgence. I know sometimes it's a death, which happened with me, as I wasn't a fan of Kubrick or Altman until a few minutes after they died.
