8. Have you ever seen the movie "The Ruling Class"?

It stars Peter O'Toole and it's amazing, though a tad on the long side.

There's a scene where something like that happens. Peter O'Toole plays a paranoid schizophrenic who believes he's Jesus Christ. Another character is convinced he's "The God of Electricity" or something like that. Their psychiatrist brings them together to argue it out. Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well.

"The Ruling Class" is one of the darkest comedies ever, and was quite controversial back in the day. And O'Toole, as usual, is superb. I'd watch him in anything.
