Many people consider it great, and I can understand that an emotional connection to a flawed movie eclipses all analysis of it. I re-watch, and re-assess movies fairly regularly and am often amazed at how poorly informed, or poorly observed my original take on a movie can be (usually for ones I saw >10-15 years ago) -- for better or worse. For one example, my impression of viewing the Twin Peaks movie at its original, theatrical release ~25-years ago was of its bizarrely comic exaggeration and surrealism. From re-viewing it a few months ago (on dvd), I realized it also has a profoundly tragic dimension.
