Anecdata here, but I played Zelda Ocarina of Time on CRT when I was a child, and have since replayed it many times via emulator. The game never looked quite as good as I remembered it, but of course I chalked it up to the fact that graphics have improved by several orders of magnitude since then.

Then a few years ago I was throwing out my parent's old CRT and decided to plug in the N64 one last time. Holy crap was it like night and day. It looked exactly as I remembered it, so much more mysterious and properly blended than it does on an LCD screen.

I don't see why the same wouldn't apply to films, sometimes our memories aren't false.
