Regarding Woody, I think it's understandable that his real-life issues affect how someone might view his old stuff.
Take J.D. Salinger. Well, not literally -- even if you could find him, he wouldn't like it. Catcher in the Rye would probably read differently today had it not become requisite reading for high-profile killers with three names, and had not Salinger decide to withdraw from greater society, occasionally tottering out to his mailbox to send off long love letters to pretty young tv and literary personalities.
Back to Woody, Love and Death is gold... Like Justin just pointed out, Mike & Kevin even reference it (I think) in the Matrix rifftrax when one of them wistfully says "fields of wheat." Then, they could be referencing the Bergman thing Woody was referencing.
