I thought of the Dunst one too.

I'm sure there are many. One that sprung to my mind was the one with Kevin Nealon who got trapped in the time loop. He saves the day, leaving the bad guy to be stuck in an endless time-loop of death.

Tthe quantum worlds one ended up happy. The guy is about to shoot himself, and finds himself sucked into an alternate dimension, with many other versions of himself. And it ends with him taking the place of the guy with a chance at the girl...

One of my favorite Outer Limits starred Kirsten Dunst and Joshua Jackson (1997):

A young researcher encounters a mysterious alien signal that sounds like noise to adults, but music to children. When the music causes odd behavior, followed by physical changes, a quarantine is declared.

Anyone that could "hear" the music were slowly transformed into a "new" human version if they welcomed it. The signal was sent as a warning because their sun was evolving...

I just saw a happy episode if Outer Limits a few weeks ago. There was some sort of big chemical warfare thing or something and because of it people couldn't reproduce, they had massively fucked up babies (so happy!!) and the government was trying to find the "perfect" couple to have a non fucked up baby. Enter Blair Underwood and his knocked up wife, who while being int he government baby making facility discover the awful truth, and after giving birth the baby is taken away...

The 60's Outer Limits scared the crap out of me. I seem to remember one where a little girl rolled over in bed into the wall. Another dimension thing. I was scared to go to bed after that.

My bed was against a wall...

I like the episode that had Luke Skywalker in it.

I remember one with Thora Birch (before she turned into a hideous teenager) that was happy.

I've never like the new ones...prefer the black and white ones.

Since i've seen every Twilight Zone a billion times, I have started watching a episode of Outer Limits and then a episode of Alfred Hitchcock presents every once in a while to see how they compare.

Shockingly Outer Limits would be the worst of the three.

Outer Limits started in 1963.

Outer Limits is like a modern day Twilight Zone. I think the Outer Limits started on Showtime(?) and then crossed over to network television.

the only happy ending is when you've seen every episode. Do not miss one! There are quite a few with bittersweet endings, but can't off the top of my head think of a happy ending.

My dad put it on the tivo pass and I've been watching and pretty much every one ends with mankind doomed, somebody completely fucked over, or the earth about to be destroyed.

I've so far only found one that ended well, with a guy jumping through time and at the end he's placed back in the first jump he did.
