The truth is out there. At least, that's one of the messages that fans of The X-Files grew up with and believe in to this day. When Fox greenlit the show in the early 1990s, most of what we'd call mainstream television in today's drama-saturated TV landscape didn't have a big breakthrough yet. That meant, the opportunity to write TV history was still there, and there was plenty of room for two instead of just one character to make that happen - enter iconic duo Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, the believer in the paranormal and the skeptic scientist. The X-Files would shape the future of sci-fi drama and mystery TV with to its Monster-of-the-Week - formula that was the feeding ground for its overarching storyline about an alien invasion on Earth. By introducing unthinkable concepts surrounding the extraterrestrial and uncovering deep-hidden secrets of the US-government, one man and one woman on the search for answers shaped the zeitgeist of an entire nation and made everybody rethink all they ever knew. And whether you believe there are bigger forces at work or not, Mulder and Scully will be on the case and today we're going to unravel the mysteries about one of the greatest TV series ever made. I’m Keegan with Cinematica and you are watching 107 facts about The X-Files.

This show changed my life when I was 11. I was absolutely obsessed with it through my teens. In 1995, I caught the end of an episode in season 2 and was hooked from that point onwards. Nothing will ever come close to The X Files for me. Pure perfection. It was my best friend during my very turbulent journey through adolescence.
My husband and I are currently getting our 11 year old daughter hooked on it. At first she didn't find it relatable, but quickly realized almost every episode does have something relevant and/or informative.
Perfect example: we watched the episode that talks about Operation Paperclip weeks ago... we were watching something tonight that mentioned Werhner von Braun as a space engineer/architect and she said "isn't that one of the scientist from Operation Paperclip?" (Proud parenting moment for her father and me.) We are almost finished with season 3. It's nice to know maybe one day she'll be an adult and grateful we watched it together as a family.🖤
I was 5 or 6 years old when I first watched the X-Files. My dad would put me to bed, but I'd sneak to my grandmas room to sleep in her bed, and we'd stay up for hours watching TV. X-Files, NCIS, Criminal Minds, Murder She Wrote, and the OG, Diagnosis: Murder! I read your comment, and it took me back because, honestly, those were the days, and nothing will ever touch the X-Files for me, like you said!
Same here....loved this show for so many reasons
Me too. Absolutely obsessed. Loved it and still do. It still
Holds up to this day and I don’t think a show will
Ever come close to:(
I was about 18..but the same..it changed tv
The X-Files was literally the definition of the 90s. The whole world was watching this show and really peaked the general audiences’ interest in aliens and ufos. Glad Disney+ has all the episodes in its library.
It’s also streaming for free on freevee, and you’re right, it really was the epitome/definition of the 90’s. I was a teenager when the show was running through the 90’s, and I remember when I started working at a Borders Books And Music, part of the staff would come in and discuss episodes the day after they aired! What a time to be alive! 👽
@@ArtistJane glad to see being streamed for free because it is a classic imo and should be seen as a heritage in tv show.
I want a prequel to the X-Files called, The Syndicate. It should focus on the formation of the group and their upward climb to power. They could also have Agent Dales discover the x-files and focus on his early investigations in the paranormal.
There were maybe 4 episodes about exactly that. Exploring more would kind of ruin the mystery of those characters though
@Rob James I know but I want more! The truth is out there and I need it 😁
I'd love to see a series about CSM
@@MappyPunk86 THIS PLEASE 🚬😎
Milder and Skinwalkers. Need.
My niece gave me an "official X Files" flashlight and two days later... Our power went out! Cut to me, going around dark corners saying "Mulder it's me!" Didn't see any aliens but we all know...
The Truth is out There !! 👽🛸
I always wanted one of those flashlights! I still do...
🛸❤️🤘🏻
Carter standing by Gillian was the smartest thing he could have done.
I binge watched all 9 series in the past month thanks to Disney + and I gotta say that it was so beyond its time and being a horror fanatic myself I've acknowledged that a lot of modern horror has taken inspiration from the X files. The 90s noir tone that especially the first series have is still unmatched, I think even David Fincher took something from it. The show went downhill in season 8 towards 9 because Mulder was unreplaceble and the 2016/2018 series were mostly fan service but I hope it will be rediscovered soon. Thanks for the vid and merry Christmas!
season 8 was fantastic. Doggett was a great character and Mulder's absence is resolved fairly quickly when binging. season 9 was kinda bad though.
I started rewatching it on Halloween, on sesson 8 now
there were a few episodes in the reboot were great, forehead sweat and were monster.
Yup. Definately One of the most influential and greatest show of all time.
@@lucy8178 I LOVE those two episodes! Reg and Them!! And Dagoooo!! The next-to-no dialogue about modern tech was pretty good too. Scully's house?! Wowsers! Lol
#108: The 90's Canadian show "Reboot" made by Mainframe Entertainment (the same people who made Beast Wars) was Headquartered in BC. Gillian Anderson was a fan of the show and toured the company and everything. While she was married to Clyde Klotz who was the art director for both Reboot AND X-files a Reboot episode named "Trust No one" featured a character called Data Nully who was an agent investigating supernatural disappearances voiced by Gillian Anderson. The episode was heavily based on the first X-files movie and a few episodes. It also had a Fox Mulder character named Fax Modem (the show took place inside a computer)
Clyde Klotz worked on Beast Wars too as Production Designer
@@michaelfitzsimmons8393 Ah yea, a Mainframe Entertainment regular. He won an Emmy for the show too
Fox Mulder...Fax modem
Learned something new today
The Lone Gunmen was an amazing spinoff from The X-Files too, shame they killed them off :(
The Lone Gunmen r awesome!!
Lone gunmen was left on a cliffhanger.that series could come back. Just not in the xfiles... I absolutely dig the lone gunmen. Upper deck put out a xfiles card set . It had all 3 lone gunmen autographs in it. I had to buy them!! Lol
Several years ago, I was in a jury pool in downtown L.A. The prosecuting att'y's name was Dana Fox. I kept watching for Mulder Scully to show up.
😉❤😂 That would have been epic!
I want 1 more movie to clean up the revival and finally end the story. Give Mulder and Scully an actual Happy Ending.
The revival ending felt so rushed and out of character. Like Scully spent years searching for her son and thinking about him and he's then shot in the head and she accepts it in like 2 seconds? Nah I need more. I want Mulder and Scully to end up together how they deserve after so many years
That would be lovely.❤
Grew up with X-Files and I still go back and re-watch the series
As a supporting fan of X Files I can just say. Keep it coming.
This is my all-time favorite TV show period. I've seen so many other shows similar to this over the years and I always feel: meh It's been done on the X-files already. The Truth Is Still Out There.
One of the most surprising parts of the show for me was discovering entire cast of Breaking Bad being recruited in it by Vince Gilligan.
The X-files is timeless. Die hard fans know the grandfather of this show is Kolchak The Night Stalker which is timeless as well. Carter loved Darren McGavin and wanted him to reprise his famous role but alas he wouldn’t be Kolchak ever again😢
Dude you made such a great job making this Xfile video. Loved it .. The truth is out there !
Kolchak is Classic, I got my Dvds a few years ago and they r my prized collection. It was awesome that Darren McGavin played the dad in Christmas Story.
@@anitaevans5361 McGravin was always awesome.
Kolchak is such a great show!!
I love Mulder and Scully, but I also loved Robert Patrick's character! He was amazing, and had big shoes to fill.
just so you all know Mulder was born on Friday 13th October 1961...I had to check when I saw his file if it was on a Friday, my gut knew it was. My youngest son was born on the same day but in `95.
He died tragically 2019....I miss you x
I’m truly sorry for your loss. ❤
I worked graveyards on the weekends through much of the first several years of the success of the X Files, so I only made the journey through all original seasons for the first time about 7 or 8 years ago. I'm currently watching it again for a second time, and am really surprised at how much I didn't recall from the first run-through, as well as how much I missed the first time that now stands out on the second journey through all seasons. I'm not crazy about the idea of an animated re-boot as a comedy. The chemistry between the actors (not just Duchovny and Anderson, but all of them) is so strong that there could be another at least several seasons created with brand new explorative content based solely on true unexplained events of the past two decades. I read somewhere that Anderson recently turned down the chance for another X Files reboot, which is disappointing. The article also stated that Duchovny would not do the show again without Anderson - very admirable. I'm all for another complete reboot of the X Files with as many of the original players as are still available. It would kick serious ass, and any fan of this series knows it. This series was so far ahead of its time and just so very brilliant. I did become a huge fan of Chris Carter's Millennium show when it was new because I could watch it before work during those years, but they kind of went nuts with it toward the end of Season 1 and I could see that it most unfortunately wasn't going to last, despite the absolutely impeccable performances of Lance Henriksen and Megan Gallagher.
I think there will always be a place for The X Files
108: Some of the music written for the film "Fight the Future" was composed and arranged by Mike Oldfield, whose famous "Tubular Bells" was used as the main theme for the film "The Exorcist", thanks to its eerie opening melody. For the X-Files film, one of the tracks he created blended Tubular Bells with the X-Files theme, called "Tubular X", and the result is far more groovy than it has any right to be.
Do you have a source for that? According to the score's booklet, all music for the score was written by Mark Snow. Also, the "Tubular X" version of the XF-Theme was only included on the European release of the FTF OST.
@@yumpox It's on the OST = it was written for the film. It wasn't played in the film/a part of the score, as far as I know, but it's there.
Thank you to Chris Carter for standing his ground about Gillian Anderson. No one else ever could have been Scully.
I've been introduced to several new channels with the algorithm, I'll admit that these (number of) facts are a bit of a hit or a miss with me but really liked yours. A good mix of inworld and real-life facts and all so interesting, Have now subscribed and will be checking out more.
I would love a return of the Xfiles!!
Bring back the X-Files!
I wish!!
They did that 1x, apparently it didn't work.
@MidwestDankAlumni Both movies were a hit, made millions, look up the cost of making the 2 movies and how much they made at box office, and the overseas and then the residual release on DVD, And all the replays from Netflix to Tubi, .....they made billions of dollars that even today Chris Carter, David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson still collect their residual checks every year and years to come from all the replays of the X-Files being replayed throughout the world!
@@rhodyreport8949 they’re not talking about the movies they are talking about the revival which did tank most fans of the show did not like the ending of s11 and gillian was also against it and said she’s no longer reprising her character and david said he’s not doing x files without her so i doubt it will ever come back
@user-ws6gc8vv9u There was an episode where a Senator helped Mulder go to a base , a communication base where contact was made, Mulder actually had the evidence but it was ultimately lost and he escape , but the Senator disappeared, sound very familiar with what Richard Dolan, Linda Moulton Howe, Jimmy Church with his own podcast Fade to Black on Spotify, or Jimmy Church own channel! I think they should bring back the X-Files with all new disclose evidence that's been revealed! Still lots of untold stories, BTW, 1st movie dealt with truth about Bees, Antarctic, black oil, and hidden secrets, the 2nd movie could have covered more!...the 1st was better
My fav all time show
wow, Cinematica, just wow. Loved it, thank you. The X-Files has never left my heart
X-Files is without a doubt the best TV show from the 90s, I used to watch it with my father and my brother back in the day. It should have ended at season 7 though, David Duchovny's departure killed the show for me.
Super pacing and editing of this presentation. Tons of info but no dragging...that's not easy to do. Super background info...I don't know how you came with all this good stuff.
love this show.. I was an extra in 2 episodes in season 3 and 1 in season 4
Very well made and interesting! Subbed.
queequeg was also a cannibal in Moby Dick, and that dog had eaten her last owners face in a previous episode
" I heard it was a lone gunmen"
......I LOVE PLAN 9🤯🤯
........#90!!! The HD baby!!!
I have always loved this show. and the movies.
"The Lone Gunmen" show was soon canceled after they predict 9/11 in Pilot episode, there was just 13 episodes and stop at 1st June 2001, 3 month before all world changed...
#108: Dave Grohl makes a cameo in season 3, episode 17: Pusher in the beginning. 😍🙌🏻❤️
Jack Black beat Grohl being in S03E03 "D.P.O." lots of cool cameos through the years The X-Files aired though.
@@BeExcellent21Another yup! Ryan Reynolds too!
Never enough of X-Files! 👽😎👽
@Cinematica great video 😎👍
I'm a big fan of The X Files and the Lone Gunmen.
#69 Home: Home is a real town in western Pennsylvania located on the back roads between Pittsburgh and Punxatawny (yup - groundhog central). My then-boyfriend was going to school in Punxy and we had to pass through Home on the way to visit him.
It is just as weird as portrayed. Definitely the sort of town you don't want to get caught in after dark!
Top 5 show of all time.
I loved this show, lots of nostalgia. When are you gonna add season 4 to the stranger things timeline?
You forgot to mention a song by Bree Sharp, called "the man, the myth, the monotone. She sent the song to Duchovny who got a kick out of it and sent it to a record executive friend of his. I think she only did one record. But I thought it was a great story
lov thus show, and have just started to rewatch it from the start
They should make another movie with Mulder and Scully
X-Files Assisted Living.
Not sure how I feel about some kind of Star Trek Lower Decks style spinoff of X-Files. Part of the reason why the show was so good was that it took its horror and investigative aspects pretty seriously most of the time.
I'm 45 years old and somehow never seen not 1 episode 😮 I think I was too busy partying back in the day. I plan on binge watching soon ❤
When are series comes to end, where you have formed an emotionally attachment with the characters (because everyone you know really sucks) ...its like losing a friend.
The most memorable television series really captures the zeitgeist of their time and is the reason they elicit feelings of nostalgia as they transport us emotionally back in time, when nightmares where something you had when you slept, as opposed to taday, where we wake to nightmare every morning. And each night when we go to bed, we say little prayer to our God emploring HER ha, to have mercy and take us in our sleep.
Dr They, nailed it, "The truth is out there, but people today wouldn't regonize it if they fell over it. If you did another series of the X-files today, the Qnon lunatics would be anaylising the surreptitious clues, as that is what gives psychotics a reason to live, and might have something to do with the explosion of mental illness.
The current zeitgeist is bewildeing infantile stupidity and ignorance
We need to be challenging the lunatics in government like Mulder and Scully did ....or we are doomed. Denial has limits, and we are now abusing it, and after everything it has done for us. There's just no respect anymore
I am a transistorized, transgenderized, transmogrified, trans-human
A corporatized, commercialized, industrial strength consumer
A goal setting, gym sweating, debt fretting freak
A social climbing net worker that's always on heat
I got my education majoring in indoctrination
Where they taught me to comply, to never question why
And so I'm chasing an illusion of success that's a delusion
That's sending me insane, exploding my brain
And as we teeter on the brink, soon to be extinct
I always wear a smile, coz I'm living in denial
They are still AWESOME!
Yes bring on more X-Files
That kiss was the greatest moment in television history...
all great info and wonderful Easter Eggs - great job!
even that animated comedy series - as long as STORYTELLING and not WOKE values are the focus of the new show.
There is no way anyone will be able to fill the shoes of Scully and Mulder....
The original soundtrack of the first movie has a hidden track at the end. At 10:13 the silence is broken and the full secret behind the X-Files is revealed. I found it by accident.
There was a sticker on the OST cover about that track...so not so hidden at all.
Would love to see a series spin-off set between the late 1940s and early 1960s with an entirely new cast of characters with perhaps possible references to the beginnings of the Syndicate and a cold war flavour.
More sex appeal than Gillian Anderson? Goddamn
I can't imagine life without this show
That animated show might as well be called "X Files: Lower Decks" from the sound of it.
And will probably be just as awful.
You are completely forgetting about “supernatural” 15 seasons completely inspired by xfiles directly
Carter was Editor of a surfing magazine
one of the best written shows ever on television
The greatest 👍👽
20:14 - ...WOW, you're legit gonna do BREE SHARP that way?? She's another singer who's also got a song called David Duchovny (well known enough for him to have performed it with her a time or two! Look it up, it's got a music video & everything.
Ironically, as the biggest female X-Phile in the early 2000s, I knew all about Bree Sharp & bought her album just for that song, but didn't know about the other musicians' tributes you mentioned... 🤔
no wonder this show is so good, it has vince gilligan and chris carter, two legend
Good list. BUT... (there's always a 'but') at 33:22 that's Blythe Danner, not Glenne Headley. Headly played the bartender.
A 30 years on Film would be nice
And A
No to the cartoon jokey thing
Great video! My favorite was #105. The man probably would never had done a cameo. But he wanted to give tribute to his beat friend Frankie. I know that feeling when it comes to dogs. The cameo was for Frankie, not Chris. Teared me up a bit
Carter already did a cameo as an FBI agent at Scully's hearing in the episode 2X25 Anasazi. More interesting was the cameo by Vanessa Tomassino (née Morley) in the second movie who had played Mulders younger sister Samantha as child during the first 4 seasons.
@@yumpox oh didn't know that. I guess he was still doing that one for his dog though?
The X-Files and Kolchak are my 2 favorite tv shows of all
You didn't talk about it's crossover with Cops called X-Cops
Nah, not really a crossover.
God, this is what I was waiting for!
Yes, I would love to see more “X File” bring them on,!
Hey, Cinematica. You should do a video on 107 facts about the original Star Trek from the 1960's.
No, the lone gunmen didn’t run a magazine of the same name, they ran The Lone Gunman.
Also, the «face on Mars» wasn’t news in the ‘90s, it was taken by the Viking 1 orbiter in 1976.
I Love watching it on Comet. Always been a hardcore fan
Same here!! Jumped for joy when Comet started showing the series.
@@elizabethr.110 love the marathons they play a variety of episodes & replay them later. As well as newer ones.
Comet is a great little channel.
All-time favorite TV show period. Number two is the Avengers with Peel.
X-Files was one of the last shows I can remember where you would need to be there as it aired. couldn't risk your VHS not taping it correctly... or someone talking about it before you had a chance to see it yourself.
I love the conspiracy/UFO and paranormal genre(s). This series was a home run. I bought every movie and complete series boxed set along with "The Lone Gunman" single series. It was a banner time. We had Art Bell in his prime, X-files and Millennium. Will not watch the comedy reboot though (I would probably cringe). I believe they made an error not continuing the gunman series. If anyone reading this knows of any other shows similar please do tell. Cheers.
without those two it's over
Chris Carter hates dogs lol. He literally kills a dog in every season
Yea, sure! I want more X Files! 🎃🎉
I love Jillian is "Sex Education" on Netflix, her character is just perfect.
I'm so ticked off to hear how they treat it Scully behind the scenes!!!🤬
Cary Grant (in the corn field) and Blythe Danner (looks like)
#107 According to Carter, the comedy spin-off won't happen - and I think we can all be glad about that.
Future cartoon with goofy characters?
reminded me the two characters from that doppelganger episode. I hope mulder and scully will still make occasional cameos.
Watch this show every night for the past 6 years the feel is unmatched i sleep like a baby
Gillian Anderson didn’t have enough sex appeal? Who da fuq thought that?
LOVE Kolchak!!
Carter knew what he was doing from start to finish and he also helped an amazing actress to give birth without worrying while holding on the fans... WHY CAN'T THINGS BE LIKE THEY USED TO BE THEN?! I mean we have more technology that ever and yet we f@(k things up extremely hard, should be easier instead of harder but I guess we're too spoiled and lazy to try and most of the legit creators grew old....DAMMIT!
Only Important X-Files Fact: All the cases and/or plotline scenarios in the show are based on real cases from the US gov real X-Files cases
Yeah kind of shocks me that nobody discusses that Chris Carter openly admitted in the 90s he had intelligence friends who helped him with cases to base storyline from. Even if it was disinformation a large amount of it was still based on U/X/Y Files kept by the letter agencies since the 40's.
Another fact is the episode ICE in season one is a reference to 80s adaptation of The THING
The X-Files now play on COMET TV. Star Gate also plays on COMET TV.
Fact #108: The show was (and still is) so popular in Poland, that the small unit of newly-established police in 90' (remember: to 1989 Poland was a communist state, so there was a need in 90' to establish new law-forces) dubbed itself the X-Files ("Archiwum X"). The unit is known by this name to this day and works on the unresolved murder cases. In the early 90' unit worked mostly on the cases from 70' and 80', which originally were handled by militia (communist's law-force) - it was almost impossible task, since there was a high probability that some of those murders had been commited by the old regime.
The X-files are OG supernatural..
Jesus, what a episode it would be? Sam and Dean with Fox and Dana..
So, this is the standard television used to have. Now they have Milf Mansion.
God help us all.
Wow ! HOW !! have this people not seen Gillian Anderson !!! Gorgeous
I would like to see more episodes
That was Blythe Danner not Glen Hedley.
The Avengers. My favorite show when I was a kid. Dianna Rigg was the star, Mrs Peel. After she left they did one season without her with some forgettable character and then it was canceled.
We need another movie
#56 got me
