Thanks! I think I'll go through them 1 by 1 anyway.
I've seen "Time Enough at Last" and it was awesome.
Also liked "Perchance to Dream" the episode after it.

Trips has got a nice list. One of my favorite ones is "One for the Angels" It's not one that has the classic twist ending, but it's a sentimental favorite of mine. I think it was one of the very first episodes ever done.
Some other favorites of mine
"A Stop at Willoughby"
-An advertising executive who has grown exasperated with the stress of the business life longs to get off a train at a stop called Willoughby.
"Will the Real Martian Please Stand Up"
A group of bus travelers find that there is an extra person when they stop at a diner.
"To Serve Man"
An alien race arrives on earth with a promise to help solve mankind's problems.
"The Bewitchin' Pool"
Two children escape their unhappy lives to a never-never land by way of their swimming pool.

I've been a fan for quite some time. Some great reccomendations so far. Also, check out the series from the 80's. You can catch some of them on Youtube. Some great episodes. The ones from 2003 are TERRIBLE though. My favorite episode from the 80's is "Wordplay". Check it out. Awesome.

Also, Watch the recreation of 'Nightmare at 20,000 feet" with John Lithgow from the Twilight Zone Movie. Sooooooooo great. Lithgow is so good in it.

Nah, that's the 1960s version of The Outer Limits. "Demon With A Glass Hand" and "Soldier". Still a pretty good series though, even if it's a bit more like a collection of dodgy 45 minute b-movies.</br>

I really need to get around to finishing watching The Twilight Zone, I've got all 5 seasons on DVD but I'm only midway through the third one. Just watch the lot of them, it'll take you forever, but even some of the less good ones are still fairly watchable.

Like half of The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror skits are parodies of Twilight Zone episodes.

The Twilight Zone is quite possibly the most influential television series of all time, at least when it comes to filmmaking, science fiction, horror, suspense/thrillers, and allegorical storytelling. Not to mention the use of twists and turns.
