Pocketful of Miracles (1961)
A timeless masterpiece too often overlooked...
A 7.2 for this movie is absolutely criminal, and one of most egregious examples of off-kilter IMDB ratings.
The cast, script, cinematography, score, and direction are all flawless. It feels so true to the era that you feel like it actually could have been filmed in the 30's then colorized later.
I would rank this in the top 100 best films ever made.

American Dad! (2005)
One of the most consistently smart and funny comedies of the last 20 years
They are currently in season 14 and this show somehow still makes me laugh out loud more than almost any other show on TV.
I took a break from the show a couple of years ago, as around season 11 it seemed to be showing signs of wear, but wow did they course-correct.
Seasons 13 and 14 are among some of the best ever, and the writing is outstanding. They are still packing every episode with an insane amount of jokes, even on the level of <10 Simpsons. Also, this show somehow manages to tackle very common and complex human behavior in the most outlandish ways.
The fact that this show has been hilarious for 14 straight years is a feat I don't think any other show outside of South Park has achieved.
I really hope time helps more people find this absolute gem of a show.
