Most are rather heavyweight, but there's one that takes a rather fanciful (though not joking) approach. The title is "They Might Be Giants". It stars George C. Scott as a man who believes he is Sherlock Holmes. His family calls in a psychiatrist who happens to be named Dr. Mildred Watson, who is played by Joanne Woodward.

It becomes a fascinating search through the city as Holmes decides that he must do battle with Moriarty. Wonderful character actors portray the unusual people they meet along the way. The odd thing is that these people at first seem to be bogged down in everyday life. When they interact with "Mr. Holmes", each blossoms in some way, and they are led into his vision of the world.

The end is left open, as if inviting us to decide whether they're on a fool's errand, lost in a delusion or about to face Moriarty.

This is from the site below, but I wanted to break out this part to be sure it was read:
The title is an indirect reference to Don Quixote's famous exploit of tilting at windmills, believing them to be "monstrous giants". Despite the protest of his aide Sancho Panza and being soundly defeated at the hands of the "giants" (that is, being tossed away by a mill's sail after getting his lance caught up in it), Quixote maintains his belief that the mills are not buildings but giants. In reference to this, Playfair argues:

"Of course, he carried it a bit too far. He thought that every windmill was a giant. That's insane. But, thinking that they might be... Well, all the best minds used to think the world was flat. But, what if it isn't? It might be round. And bread mold might be medicine. If we never looked at things and thought of what they might be, why, we'd all still be out there in the tall grass with the apes."

I love this movie for so many reasons, including wonderful performances by Scott, Woodward and the adorable Jack Gilford. You'll see lots of familiar faces.

If you want ultra-gritty, try "Equus", starring Peter Firth and Richard Burton. This is the play Daniel Radcliffe is in, and, yes, there's a lot of nudity.
