This movie from 1992, 30+ years old is fantastic.
It has the amazing Kenneth Branaugh, Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson and Hughe Laurie in it, all doing marvellous roles.
They are 100% British meeting up after 10 years of absence and the acting is... top notch. It is a movie which is quite rare to have seen, but it truly is one of the best.
The subtleties are difficult to capture, but this is a character study in its deepest sense. The movie has a lot of heart and is a time capsule of 1992.
Stephen Fry and Hughe were among the greats in the 80s, and later in the 2000s, but this surely is a rare masterpiece of the 90s.

Sleepless is a true nailbiter. It's a great episode on its own with a great narrative involving manipulating somebody's mind - a recurring theme in the X Files. It's also combined with the Vietnam War - another great influence of the series.
The supporting cast is great with Tony Todd being the excellent Preacher, but also Jon Gries - Rico from Napoleon Dynamite, lol - who looks tired like hell.
The "science" behind it is also intriguing, a great episode on its own merit! But there is more...
Watching the episodes of Season 2 back to back seemingly marks the end of Scully and Mulder, and the beginning of Mulder and Krycek. Mulder gets a new partner to solve crime, and a new informant with X. It pushes the "plot" forward, and we're not sure whether Scully will completely come back, it's great stuff!
It works an important segway to the next episode, a must watch for any X File fan.
Fun Trivia - Dr Pilson was only the hotel manager in S1 E2 and was also a minor character in a few more episodes.

This is a huge guilty pleasure for me. The first ever "evil technology" episode with a scruffy "Steve Jobs" genius character and a corporate evil character and your HAL 9000 computer.
Many people dislike this episode, but I like the tone a lot even if it is now the best of its kind. Season 1 is very uneven, and this episode is no exception.
I like the fact that Season 1 has a lot of "back story" characters and in this episode we get to meet Mulder's former partner, Jerry. He's an odd character, down on his luck, not cut out for the difficult task of an X File.
I know I'm in the minority, but on subsequent watches I never miss out on this one.
