Hey Bird! I'm Morose & Lugubrious
I reckon many of you have seen this classic show created by Rod Serling. To me, this is probably the best Tv-show ever created and I have watched my favorites many-a times.
I would love recommendations for The Outer Limits episodes, too, I haven't delved into that one too deeply.
Feel free to also discuss similiar series or movies in this thread: The Outer Limits, X-Files, Tales from the Crypt, Alfred Hitchcock Presents..
Just please don't talk about Twin Peaks. I forgot everything, so I'm rewatching it again
Now without further ado, let me start with my list:
5. The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street
Beautiful depiction of how othering can lead to segregation and mistrust to panic and violence. I feel like this episode started a trope in Tv-series of similiar type.

4. It's a Good Life
This might be the second most well-known episode and certainly an obvious pick. It might have fathered lots of horror movies with children protagonists, but the one I am sure of is Children of the Corn. By the way, never watch that movie unless you want to have a good laugh. I saw all the sequels, some of the best time I've ever wasted!

3. The Midnight Sun
I felt like this episode had outstanding acting, very loveable characters and a setting which could make even the most coldhearted psychopath emphatic. The way the story leads you along, just to reveal the end is brilliantly done and the themes of the two opposites, hot and cold are juxtaposed in a clever way.

2. Time Enough At Last
Probably the single most seminal Twilight Zone episode right there. I won't talk too much about the plot, I'll just say that I love the main protagonist, the setting, all the books and his passion for delving into them. Could have easily taken the first place, but that is reserved for a different one for now.

1. The Eye Of The Beholder
The name already tells you what this'll be about: Beauty standards, subjectivity, norms, perception.. What makes this episode so special is the genius lighting, the camera angles, the scenery and how the shots are set up; It basically is just a great piece of cinematographic work. Not only that but it's genuinely scary, the atmosphere is really unsettling, the nurses and doctors extremely alienating. A must see.

That concludes it, how about your favorites?
