Lately I have been thinking a lot about rewatching all the old X-files episodes (I still miss it). I was just wondering what peoples favorite episodes were.
I think I have it down to 3. The Millenium episode where Mulder and Scully first kiss (me and my best friend actually cried). That one where Bruce Campbell played the demon who wanted to have a baby and that Christmas episode with the Haunted House and Lily Tomlin was a ghost.
Anyone else have a favorite?

My favorite is Bad Blood. It's funny when Mulder and Scully both tell their sides of the story about Mulder killing a vampire and they both has different versions of the story.

The Bruce Campbell one was Terms of Endearment; Lily Tomlin and Ed Asner were in How the Ghosts Stole Christmas.
First season: I love the entire first season, but my favorites are Darkness Falls, Ice, Beyond the Sea (outstanding!), Eve, Deep Throat (a classic, the one where Mulder and Scully see the UFOs; Seth Green is in this one), Conduit (the one with the missing girl Ruby), Squeeze, and Tooms.
Second season: favorites are Duane Barry, Ascension, One Breath, Little Green Men, Red Museum, Excelsis Dei, Irresistible, Dod Kalm, Humbug, The Calusari, and F. Emasculata, and Soft Light (Tony Shalhoub from Monk in this one).
Third season: favorites are Clyde Bruckman, Oubliette, Revelations, Syzygy, Pusher, Hell Money, Jose Chung, Wetwired, The Blessing Way, Paper Clip, and DPO (Giovani Ribisi and Jack Black in this one!).
Fourth season: favorites are Home, Unruhe, Paper Hearts, Small Potatoes, Tempus Fugit, Max, and Gethsemane.
Fifth season: favorites are Post Modern Prometheus, Kitsunegari, Kill Switch, Bad Blood, Mind's Eye, Pine Bluff Variant, Redux I, and Redux II.
Sixth season: favorites are Drive, Triangle, Dreamland I & II, How the Ghosts Stole Christmas, Monday, Arcadia, Alpha, Trevor, Field Trip, and Biogenesis.
Seventh season: favorites are The Sixth Extinction I and II, Millenium, Rush, The Goldberg Variation, Orison, The Amazing Maleeni, Theef, Sein Und Zeit, Closure, En Ami, Brand X, All Things, and Requiem.
Eighth season: Within, Without, Redrum, Roadrunners, Per Manum, This is Not Happening, Deadalive, Alone, Essence, and Existence.
Ninth season: Trust No 1, Provenance, Providence, Audrey Pauley, William, Release, John Doe, and The Truth.
If I had to pick my top favorites out of the classic Mulder/Scully seasons, it is Pusher, Paper Hearts, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose, and Postmodern Prometheus. Of course I always enjoy watching the movie everyonce in a while too.
For the seasons without Mulder, I thought Redrum, Roadrunners, John Doe, and Release were incredible! And Scully was heartbreaking in Within, Without, Per Manum, Deadalive, and This is Not Happening - I still feel for her after all these years.
Sein Und Zeit and Closure were also very sad for me because it signaled the end of an era - the reason behind the X-Files was resolved and Mulder was about to vanish. And Requiem...don't get me started. It's so final and sad, especially with the Last Supper symbolism.
The worst ones, in my opinion, are Tes Dos Bichos, El Mundo Gira, Grotesque, The Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man, Unusual Suspects, Travelers, X-Cops, First Person Shooter, Fight Club, Agua Mala, and Patience. There are a few other stinkers in there as well but those are the worst, either for being laughably bad, or for almost completely excluding either one or both of the two main characters.
Have fun watching!

My fave episodes are:
-Millenium--Scully/Mulder kiss
-Triangle--It's just cool
-Humbug--Funny
-How the Ghosts Stole Christmas--It's just cool
-Per Manum--Interesting, lot's of stuff revealed from the past
-Trust No One--Lots of stuff also revealed here, though the only thing it lacks is Mulder
-The Scully' cancer trilogy--they were all really good
-Small potatoes
Those are only some of them, 'cause there are more. I love X-Files, I wish that they were still making more of them, but I still love them to death. The way Mulder and Scully would approach the paranormal, I love it. Well, it's too bad that their gone, but we can still watch them forever on the conveniently made DVD sets. I miss X-Files, but I will never tire from watching them. I enjoy being an x-files geek =).

"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" with the late, great Peter Boyle. Peter Boyle won an Emmy for his performance, and Darin Morgan won an Emmy for the writing in that episode.
The episode fits together poetically, the language used is beautiful and the story is very creepy.
Besides, that's the episode Scully got a dog.

The one with the clones of "Eve" at 10 years old. The little girls kill their father's and fool everyone (and almost poison Mulder and Scully)
It is wonderfully written and acted throughout.
Another standout is one of the first episodes with the girl named Ruby who is abducted while camping, but found in the end.

My favorite episode is called "home". Its the one where the family in Pennsylvania has inbred and the Johnny Mathis song is playing when they go to the cops house and kill him and the wife is hiding under the bed and they sniff around and smell her and then kill her. Freakiest and best one.

well i really love all of them, but i haven't seen all of them, but i would say 2shy from the third season, three kings six season, Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space' third season, and when they got lost in the woods when there were invisible people. there's more those have to be my fav. thank you for asking other fans of the X-files. also when you and your friend cried on that episode, i cried on the episode when the lone gunmen died.

I love "Wetwired" (first one I saw) and the "Millenium" one too and I have a soft spot for the episode "Small Potatoes"!

I liked the one where the little girl had the creepy doll that had some kind of mind control or something, and it was trying to get her to kill her mother. Scared the crap outta me.
