My grandma and i never missed an episode. I can remember the premier. I was adding butter to a big bowl of popcorn as the opening theme was playing. Grandma shouted for me to hurry up, i was gonna miss the opening scene😂. It is a bittersweet memory, she passed away in 2007😢. I miss her
Definitely one of my favourite 90's TV shows of all time. Duchovny and Anderson had the best dynamic, you could never envision anyone else as Mulder or Scully.
I have their origin novels, which take place in late March and early April of 1979. As Mulder tries to solve his sister Samantha’s disappearance in _Agent of Chaos,_ _Devil’s Advocate_ shows Scully getting in over her head after a deceased classmate appears to her during gym. By chance, Mulder and Scully have a brief exchange in the former book. I’ll keep it small, but Scully didn’t want Mulder and his team disturbing the energy of the building they were in. I know its name, but I’ll keep quiet about it so both stories stay fresh should you want to read them.
The fact that Vince Gilligan wrote some of the best episodes of X-Files and also created the series Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul only proves how great his potential is
Vince Gilligan had a minor rolle in the X files, compare to Chris Carter, Frank Spotnitz, and others. There is no comparison between all the richness of the X files vs. Braking Bad clitché tematic. What a Joke!!
"Home" really freaked me out. A fellow worker was quite upset by that episode; near the end, a Johnny Mathis standard was playing. She said she never wanted to hear that song again, as it would remind her of that episode.
@@Chuck_EL Yup. No argument from me. Now I have to see if I can find that episode streaming...I think FreeVee has at least the first season, but I can't recall if "Home" was first or second season.
One of the episodes that “kept me up” at night has to be “Folie a deux”…that “from the corner of your eye” monster…shivers. On a lighter note, I love the episode “War of the Coprophages”…Duchovny in them jeans….
I started watching "The X Files" by accident. I was a fan of "Adventures of Briscoe County" and set the VCR to record it while the lovely missus and I went to dinner. We got home and I realized I recorded X Files by mistake. It was the episode with all the cloned girls, and their fathers being exsanguinated.("Eve") I watched every episode after that, and caught the first bunch on reruns when they came on.
Great video Watch Mojo... glad to see the one with Peter Boyle was number 1. Such a great episode, and The X Files is one of the best shows ever... Thanks every one!
I like the episode where Mulder drives the entire episode to try and save a woman with an exploding headache.And the guy who has insane luck all the time.
“Triangle” gets my vote. I love the single camera tracking approach. I love that both leads hold court through their respective scenes. I love that there’s no breaks in the action from both the ship and the office. AND I LOVE SCULLYS HAIR THE MOST ON THIS DAMN EPISODE⚫️ Gillian was working the hell out of the camera man.
You can never top "HOME" as the greatest X-Files episode ever: horrifying, funny, disgusting, thought-provoking, and the only episode to ever be banned from television.
As a kid i had this requiring dream for years but never knew from where. Seeing this today hit me like a tons of bricks. All coimg back to me now. This episode and a movie called People Under the Stairs were a big part of those childhood nightmares 💀💀💀 (X-cops ep also f**k me up 😂 I was a gullible kid)
Man eating fireflies, Death by over-imagination, A Digestive cave, Aging water, Tentacled monsters that turns you into water, A guy that eats people's liver every 50 years, Another with a killer siamese twin, and Another guy whose own shadow kills people?! Sheesh! No wonder this stuff got me as a kid! And even still gets me to this day. 😱
This list is missing some great episodes Our Town, Fearful Symmetry, Colony, End Game Acension, One Breath, Aubrey, Excelsis Dei, Irresistible, Unruhe, Kaddish, Leonard Betts, Sanguinarium, Tunguska, Tempus Fugit, Max, Patient X, The Red and the Black, Emily, All Souls, Travelers, 2Shy, Wetwired, Avatar, Piper Maru, Apocrypha, Grotesque, Alpha, Two Farthers and One.
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! The X-Files episodes were filmed where I used to live back in the 90s along with other TV shows like Millennium. They used to post fake TV show names where they parked RVs for actors/actresses and the film crew, to prevent the locals from visiting the site. 🤣 I remember watching the pilot episode of the X-Files while not knowing that was a paranormal based TV show.. 🤣
Great list, but I really want to include War of the Coprophages. There was an outtake where a cockroach walked over the camera, but it was so perfect that they decided to keep it in. When that cockroach walked across the screen, you know that somewhere in america somebody through a shoe at the television.
If a cockroach walked over the camera, all you'd see would be a black/brown blur obscuring the image. That cockroach running over the screen was put in as a visual effect on purpose in post-production. There's even an edit in the middle, ffs, just to make you think there's a real roach running over your TV.
After 5 years since the seasons of The X Files ended in the year 2018, i still rewatch the entire series in the year 2024. Because the series fascinates me entirely till today about the existence of aliens and little green men’s.
I remember when Irresistible played, I was living in St. Paul MN at the time, which was the scripted setting for the episode. Scared the you know what out of me. But Jose Chung is still my fav.
I suppose the plot was derivitive, but I loved the episode "Monday" where Mulder and Scully are trapped in a time warp and repeat the same bank robbery over and over. I also loved "Field Trip" where they get trapped inside a killer mushroom.
The X-Files was one of the first (if not the first) series I started watching when cable TV was installed at home and for sure I have fond (and a few scary and unsettling) memories of it. I remember many of the episodes on this list, including the controversial "Home", and I agree on the number 1 pick: the Clyde Bruckman episode was really touching, and left me thinking for a while. Thanks for this video and greetings from Spain :)
It's tough to choose just 20 eps from one of the best TV series of all time. Other good eps not mentioned here are: "Gender Bender", "Eve", "The Calusari", "2Shy", "War of the Coprophages", "Grotesque", "Monday", "Biogenesis", "Daemonicus", "Unusual Suspects", "The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat" and "Rm9sbG93ZXJz" 😎
One of the best lists ever on Mojo!!!!😄😄😍😍! Your list was great! My personal favourites are from season 7 - "The Goldberg Variation", "Je Souhaite" (those were just pure fun!!),"Hungry" was also original, , "Terms of Endearment" a brilliant story, 'Dreamland' double episode was great also, and three episodes from season 2 "Die Hand Die Verletzt", "Soft Light" as well as"Our Town" all are brilliant , and all the episodes involving Lone Gunmen of course 🤩🤩🤩
Our Town, Die Hand Die Verletzt, Folie a Deux, Deep Throat, Leonard Betts, Acadia, Detour, Paper Clip, Paper Hearts, Roadrunners, Niesi/731, The Elrenmeyer Flask, Terms of Enderment, Small Potatoes and Humbug. i think are some best episodes
Thank you for including Paper Hearts. Incredible episode. Noonan is scarier as a human serial killer than anything supernatural they faced. I’d complain that the list is too comedy heavy, but over the decades, I’ve found that the humourous ones are ones that hold up best upon multiple rewatches. Outside of Paper Hearts and Pusher, there aren’t a lot of serious or scary ones I go back to anymore.
Great list. Some of my favorites that didn’t make the cut on your list: Soft Light. Folie a Deux. Roland. El Mundo Gira. EBE. Die Hand Die Verletzt. Wetwired. And I’m still afraid I’m missing some of my favorites. The first 5 seasons were pure gold.
Another good example of comedy... although I don't remember the story's name, is from the sequel series... an AI drone from an automated sushi restaurant, that goes bonkers, because Mulder lost his temper with it, not giving it a favourable review. 😁
'humbug' and 'home' are easily my favorites. what's funny is as a kid my favorite episodes were the alien abduction ones, but as an adult I've found myself enjoying the monster of the week episodes.
Please do a top 20 X-Files moments. Some that must be in their is when in ‘Beyond the Sea’ when Mulder holds a gun and shouts ‘Federal Agent’ and then gets shot at and then when Mulder takes the Magic Mushrooms in ‘Babylon’, absolutely hilarious outcomes.
Darrin Morgan’s writing was brilliant, and I love David Ducovney’s take on it being so different from the rest of the series, “it’s like he’s trying to destroy the show”.
Home was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong, creators of (Space: Above and Beyond). They knew that there was going to be a lot of stuff that wouldn’t make it past the censors, so they wrote in a lot of stuff that the censors would gut so they could keep the good stuff.
Episodes that I think were missed- Ghost in the Machine, Erlenmeyer Flask, Ascension, ‘3’, One Breath, Die Hand Die Verletzt, Dod Kalm, F. Emascualta, Our Town, Oubliette, The Field Where I Died, Zero-Sum, Unusual Suspects, Detour, Kill Switch, The Pine Bluff Variant, Foile a Duex, The End, The Beginning, Drive, S.R. 819, Monday, Closure, Jump the Shark, The Truth, Babylon.
***********watching xfiles at night **************ambience, atmosfphere, and music of the x files is 10/10 *********ice,leonard betts, 3 , irresistible, colony, finale of 6th season, firewalker, home, etc....i ll be remembering them TILL THE DAY I LL DIE PERFECTION
Irresistible always stood out as one of the best episodes for me. Really creepy, fantastic acting from all the cast and the fact the killer is human makes the episode even creepier.
As a fan from the original run it's funny to see X-Cops on the list. If you were on Prospero's X-Files message board in 2000 then you would have seen a lot of fans hating on that episode.
It's hard to argue with CBFR being #1. Everything about that episode just locks into place beautifully. Even if it weren't my #1, my Top 10 in chronological order would be: Ice Beyond the Sea Tooms Anasazi Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose Pusher Home Small Potatoes Monday The Unnatural
My favorite ones were mostly all mentioned already. I like D.P.O. and a few other episodes not mentioned better than paper hearts or pilot though. Xfiles is actually my favorite live action tv show btw, tons of good episodes in it.
I would have picked "Colony"/ "Endgame" over anything from the sequel series. That, or "Talitha Cumi"/ "Herrenvolk". Brian Thompson was totally underrated as the Alien Bounty Hunter, and these were the best alien/human hybrid episodes. I'd also add "Soft Light" or "Leonard Betts", instead of "Post Modern Prometheus".
And here comes My Top 20 from absolute favorite Episodes from my Favorite Show The X Files Number 20: The Lost Of Forehead Sweat Number 19: Dreamland Parts 1 & 2 Number 18: Squeeze & Tooms Number 17: Familiar Number 16: The Goldberg Variations Number 15: The Erlenmayer Flask Number 14: Small Potatoes Number 13: Nisei / 731 Parts 1 & 2 Number 12: Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' Number 11: Improbable Number 10: The Field, Where I Died Number 09: Ice Number 08: How The Ghosts Stole Christmas Number 07: Redrum Number 06: The Host Number 05: Bad Blood Number 04: Tunguska / Terma Number 03: Musings Of A Cigarette Smoking Man Number 02: The Truth Number 01: X - Cops

Your list is really good mojo
Aqua Mala, Shapes, Terms of Endearment, and Millennium are my favorites
And X-Cops is another favorite of mine
You should make some more lists about x-files like top monsters of x-files
Or funniest x-files episodes 😁

@@Reaperguy67That’s just sad.
@@Jeremiah_Rivers76 yep. I don't understand why people find immature comments funny. Like they got to grow up
"Folie a Deux" is the most iconic episode, in my opinion. I was gripped to find out the ending, never really knowing how it would end.
I'm glad you included "Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space'" on the list!
My favorite episode.

I saw it when it first aired, funny enough Fox decided not to rerun it because it upset people
Home is my favorite
The "birth" scene still messes me up
@@Chuck_EL Yup. No argument from me. Now I have to see if I can find that episode streaming...I think FreeVee has at least the first season, but I can't recall if "Home" was first or second season.
That episode was so much nope
The best episode is when Mulder and Scully travel to Springfield to investigate an alien sighting reported by Homer Simpson.
Rhys Darby as the "Were-Monster" has got to be the funniest character ever on the show.
One of the episodes that “kept me up” at night has to be “Folie a deux”…that “from the corner of your eye” monster…shivers. On a lighter note, I love the episode “War of the Coprophages”…Duchovny in them jeans….

Closure is the best episode. I will take no questions.
Oh the memories of watching The X-Files on a Friday night with a bowl of popcorn 🍿😊
Man eating fireflies,
Death by over-imagination,
A Digestive cave,
Aging water,
Tentacled monsters that turns you into water,
A guy that eats people's liver every 50 years,
Another with a killer siamese twin,
and Another guy whose own shadow kills people?!
Sheesh!
No wonder this stuff got me as a kid! And even still gets me to this day. 😱

That one stuck with me
It's beautiful.

When that cockroach walked across the screen, you know that somewhere in america somebody through a shoe at the television.
That.... Wasn't an outtake. The cockroach was shot separately and superimposed over that part as a gag.
If a cockroach walked over the camera, all you'd see would be a black/brown blur obscuring the image.
That cockroach running over the screen was put in as a visual effect on purpose in post-production. There's even an edit in the middle, ffs, just to make you think there's a real roach running over your TV.
Great picks! I love "Ice", the Pilot and "Tooms".
Bad blood is my favorite episode. Great seeing things from each character's pov and then seeing the truth was somewhere in between.
Bad Blood is also hilarious! Mulder singing Shaft 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry but CSM WAS the one behind the Kennedy incident in the musings episode. When the narrator said "father," that confused me a bit.
After 5 years since the seasons of The X Files ended in the year 2018, i still rewatch the entire series in the year 2024. Because the series fascinates me entirely till today about the existence of aliens and little green men’s.

Home freaked me out far more than any other episode!
I remember when Irresistible played, I was living in St. Paul MN at the time, which was the scripted setting for the episode. Scared the you know what out of me. But Jose Chung is still my fav.
I suppose the plot was derivitive, but I loved the episode "Monday" where
Mulder and Scully are trapped in a time warp and repeat the same bank robbery
over and over. I also loved "Field Trip" where they get trapped inside a killer
mushroom.
One word: Home. Better than 99% of the big budget horror movies that have come before it and since.
The Goldberg Variation with Willie Garson, and Monday with the time-loop bank robbery. And the 2-parter Dreamland with Michael McKean.
So many good episodes. It s hard to pick a favorite.
The X-Files was one of the first (if not the first) series I started watching when cable TV was installed at home and for sure I have fond (and a few scary and unsettling) memories of it.

Gotta throw my vote in for Folie a Deux as my fav episode. Stuck with me years later.
Ghost in a Machine.
Together with The Twilight Zone, X files are too TV production and writing. Even when it is safer than bold, its true television.
I miss Friday nights as a kid , watching the x files in the dark and actually getting scared about the aliens and getting abducted by them.
The episode with Bruce Campbell is the best one because it has Bruce Campbell.
Please do a top 20 X-Files moments. Some that must be in their is when in ‘Beyond the Sea’ when Mulder holds a gun and shouts ‘Federal Agent’ and then gets shot at and then when Mulder takes the Magic Mushrooms in ‘Babylon’, absolutely hilarious outcomes.
Ice will always be the greatest episode for me. Three decades later and it's still an absolutely beautiful piece of television.
Sorry guys, you miss it: 1. Folie a Deux 2. Squeeze.
agent mulder is so hot
100%
Darrin Morgan’s writing was brilliant, and I love David Ducovney’s take on it being so different from the rest of the series, “it’s like he’s trying to destroy the show”.
One of the best shows of all time. Could pull off a Top 50 for it.
One of the best series ever! I miss it!
Home was written by Glen Morgan and James Wong, creators of (Space: Above and Beyond). They knew that there was going to be a lot of stuff that wouldn’t make it past the censors, so they wrote in a lot of stuff that the censors would gut so they could keep the good stuff.
D.P.O. should have been on the list. The even used it during the end cards.
Just riped all 11 seasons from DVD to my Jellyfin server. Shame "The Field Where I Died" did.t make the list. Still one of my favorites to this day.
"Home" was actually the first episide of the X-Files that I ever saw. 😂
Great intro to the show.
No one ever lists my favorite, “The Calusari,” and “Sleepless.”
Darkness falls for me. never ever looked at fireflies at night while camping the same after that episode.
To difficult to deal with the Lost of the great Toby Keith, _ load's of respect to his amazing work. Rest in country heaven.
MY NEURONS ARE ON FIRE!! No wonder I'm so weird, growing up obsessed with this show! I still think I'm gonna grow up and become Scully...
No Momento Mori? No One Breath? Bah humbug!
I loved Arcadia 😂❤
Git in here and fix me a sandwich, woman! 😂 Definitely my favorite line.
Squuze and Tooms are the best!
Wow, so many other episodes I would’ve ranked way higher than what was on this list. But to each their own
Episodes that I think were missed- Ghost in the Machine, Erlenmeyer Flask, Ascension, ‘3’, One Breath, Die Hand Die Verletzt, Dod Kalm, F. Emascualta, Our Town, Oubliette, The Field Where I Died, Zero-Sum, Unusual Suspects, Detour, Kill Switch, The Pine Bluff Variant, Foile a Duex, The End, The Beginning, Drive, S.R. 819, Monday, Closure, Jump the Shark, The Truth, Babylon.
Good list. “Home” is the best episode of The X-Files. The absolute best! “Home” is the most fcked up.
The unnatural is my favorite, with the black baseball team
X files was my favorite show ever and im middle aged
***********watching xfiles at night
**************ambience, atmosfphere, and music of the x files is 10/10
*********ice,leonard betts, 3 , irresistible, colony, finale of 6th season, firewalker, home, etc....i ll be remembering them TILL THE DAY I LL DIE
PERFECTION
The episode with Tooms is why I was terrified of escalaters as a teenager😂
LOVED X-FILES! Went to 1st X-Files Convention in Chicago with a co-worker who subscribed to Fangoria [I paid for my kid's subscription 😑]
Personally I would have had tooms higher up just fornthe shear terror and the fact years later they check tiny vents just in case
Irresistible always stood out as one of the best episodes for me. Really creepy, fantastic acting from all the cast and the fact the killer is human makes the episode even creepier.
As a fan from the original run it's funny to see X-Cops on the list. If you were on Prospero's X-Files message board in 2000 then you would have seen a lot of fans hating on that episode.
I live close to the actual Home, PA and every resident I know thinks it’s hilarious it’s one of the banned eps and it’s not even supernatural!
It is not banned.
I really miss the days of X-Files episode/Bulls game double headers with my dad.
Pusher is my top favorite of the series!!! Always will be :)
Rush and Monday absolutely deserve to be on this list somewhere
My favorite always has been Ice.
Terrific list
I’ve seen every episode on this list as it’s my all time favorite show
It's hard to argue with CBFR being #1. Everything about that episode just locks into place beautifully. Even if it weren't my #1, my Top 10 in chronological order would be:
Ice
Beyond the Sea
Tooms
Anasazi
Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose
Pusher
Home
Small Potatoes
Monday
The Unnatural
It still remains in my top ten favorite shows and there was never a "bad" episode.
Have I missed it on the list? I had nightmares after watching the flukeman
Eve should be on this list
My favorite ones were mostly all mentioned already. I like D.P.O. and a few other episodes not mentioned better than paper hearts or pilot though. Xfiles is actually my favorite live action tv show btw, tons of good episodes in it.
Man I miss that show!
The field where I died is one of my favourites.
Ice??? Really??? but at least you didn't use the word "titular". Love your vids
Irresistible and Orison hands down.
I would have picked "Colony"/ "Endgame" over anything from the sequel series. That, or "Talitha Cumi"/ "Herrenvolk". Brian Thompson was totally underrated as the Alien Bounty Hunter, and these were the best alien/human hybrid episodes.
I'd also add "Soft Light" or "Leonard Betts", instead of "Post Modern Prometheus".
And here comes My Top 20 from absolute favorite Episodes from my Favorite Show The X Files
Number 20: The Lost Of Forehead Sweat
Number 19: Dreamland Parts 1 & 2
