Top 10 X ~ Files Episodes

As a child the X-Files was one of my favorite T.V. shows and solidified my interest in theunusual. Recently I've got Netflix and have been exploring the show I haven't seen heavily since my youth.

10. "Unruhe" This episode is about psychic photography and ice pick brain surgery.
9. "Home" - redneck inbreeding and a dead deformed baby are two reasons why I wouldn't like this episode but it has that classical piece of americana and several genuine strange twists and scares to make me enjoy it.
8. "War of the Coprophages" - Metallic government cockroaches. Not one for the squirmy.
7. The Host (Fluke man) - This is the classic Fluke Man episode, a giant mutant fluke worm man.
6. "Humbug" - an episode with Vincent Schiavelli guest stars in this episode about a side show.
5. "Hunger" - An episode in early season 7. About a mutant who can't control his cravings.
4. "Sleepless" - About the government experiments on sleepless soilders, who become hunted down by a man who can create daytime hallucinations and dreams which kill off the men. Introducing another special agent to the series and guest staring, the Candyman himself.
3. Beyond the Sea *Critically considered #1 but my #3* - Solving a mystery using a medium that Mulder believes is a fraud but after Scully's father's very recent death begins to believe is the real deal after the inmate continually sings a song that was played at her father's funeral. (He's the reason why this episode is amazing.)
2. Paper Hearts - An old serial killer enters Mulder's dreams and convinces him he murdered his sister Samantha. This episode deserved an Emmy for Tom Noonan and the writing. It's a perfect thriller, with a chilling performance.
1. Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose - A serial killer psychic and a psychic that can only predict how people are going to die clash in this funny and dark classic X-File. Guest staring Peter Boyle.
