I love Planet of the Apes. Obviously the ending is very similar to "I Shot an Arrow" from Season 1, but it also shares a plot device used in Season 2's "The Rip Van Winkle Case" (sleeping chamber breaking and leaking in time leading to death). As Tom said, it's the "true" Twilight Zone episode.
A film that would have worked well within in the Zone was Dead and Buried:
But perhaps less gory...
And even more recent films such as Limitless or The Invention of Lying. The latter of which, the writer admitted that he wrote the script after watching a weekend marathon of The Twilight Zone.
