The Twilight Zone premiered on TV in October of 1959, which means the early episodes are now 54 years old. The show was the brainchild of Rod Serling and set the standard for science fiction and horror stories to follow. The tales often had lessons in morality, and they served as a launching pad for many actors who went on to stardom.
When the show turned 50, we asked for your favorite episodes and got a lot of responses. Now Flavorwire has published a list of 10 of the Best Twilight Zone Episodes with a synopsis of each to refresh your memory. Which one is your favorite? the article made me want to watch them all again!
"Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" - the episode with Shatner - was pretty awesome. John Lithgow did an amazing job in the movie version back in 1983 -- the segment was directed by George Miller.

My favorite episode is "The Shelter." It's about a close-knit community that becomes something else entirely when there's not enough room in the only bomb shelter. It shows the ugliness of the human soul during desperate times.
