Movies that have aged heavily, but not badly

Looking for movies where the movie definitely looks or feels outdated, but that enhances what the movie is going for, or otherwise just works. For example, movies that weren't intended as period pieces but have accidentally ended up that way and offer very interesting insights into the time period when it was made. Or movies where it's harder to take the movie seriously, but that works well for the movie.

For example, I made this topic thinking about Eurotrip. The stereotypes about Europe and plot contrivances were silly when the movie came out. Now they're even sillier - basically none of the movie's plot could happen even in 2008 (with Facebook and IPhones) let alone 2025 - but it's charming now. A lot of the crude humour in the movie feels even more like a tongue in cheek parody than they did at the time. Overall IMO it's aged heavily, but aged well.
