Well, I think the reason Vertigo has what many consider an undeserved reputation is that it can be very impactful on one's first viewing, and considerably less so afterwards.
I, for one, watch it and marvel at how it casts its spell - - but ever aware the spell can be cast only once ... and my crack at it is long gone.
The movie thus never seems quite as good as it was ... and some might then find its stellar reputation is somehow not deserved.
Yet it is.
