I believe there are films, books, etc. that are the best they can be at the time they're made. As time goes on, we may notice flaws and some of the themes and jokes may not work as well, but that doesn't mean the movie/book/whatever is any worse than when it was made.
For example, Ghostbusters is a perfect movie. The casting, the script, the concept, the pacing. All of it. It still holds up. But as time goes on, I think we can all agree that the way Venkman treats Dana is at least a little creepy and offputting. That doesn't make it a bad movie, though. The times have just changed.
