The Movie: The X-Files: Fight the Future (1998)
What Is It?: Chris
Carter’s paranoia was just too big to limit to the little screen, so he gave
Mulder and Scully a chance to grapple with aliens, cancer men, and each other
in a feature film released between the series’ drab fifth season and its epic
yet goofy sixth one. The cinematic allowances of bigger special effects and a
couple of cuss words (Mulder says “shit”!) are evident, yet it's still Mulder
and Scully’s intimate chemistry that made this movie worth leaving your sofa for.
Why Today?: On
this day in 1960, David Duchovny is born.
