    This is for the 1959-1964 installment of The Twilight Zone- I wish I could choose one, but it's nearly impossible, so I'll choose 3:

    1. The After-Hours- the cinematography and the story with the mannequins is classic.
    2. The one with lady whose face is wrapped in the bandage and she turns out to look normal while everyone else is distorted, yet she's considered the oddball.
    3. The Monsters are Due on Maple Street- perfect parable of paranoia.

    The only one that jumps out at me is the young Shatner episode. It's been satirized sooo many times. Maybe it wouldn't have been that memorable if not for his line delivery. "Theres.... something on the wing. Some... thing!" A gremlin on the wing isn't a big mind screw.

    I'll check and see if my library has the old DVDs. I assume they're better than the newer series?

    1. The one where Billy Mummy turns his dad into a jack-in-the-box
    2. "Kick the Can" - brilliant
    3. The one where the jerk librarian breaks his glasses
    4. To Serve Man
    5. The one where the two guys bet that they cant be quiet for a year for an absurd amount of money, and at the end the first guy loses but admits he's poor, and the other guy admits he had his vocal cords ripped out. Brutal.

    The one where a guy is given a switch. If he flicks the switch, "someone he doesn't know" will die, but he is given large sum of cash..

    When he has made his decision, he is told that the switch will now be given to "someone he doesn't know".

    I also loved the Monsters are Due on Maple STreet.

    I'll throw in The Incredible World of Horace Ford, about a guy who works for a toy making company, and ends up going back to his child hood.

    I don't know if its my favorite, but I like it, and figured nobody else would mention it.
