I saw an episode of something years and years ago, I dunno if it's the Twilight Zone or the Outer Limits or something. It was black and white I think.
A man gathers some people in a basement somewhere who have wronged him somehow, and try to convince them it's the end of the world, and as everyone they know and love dies, they can stay there to survive, with him, the man they hate, knowing their loved ones are gone. They believe him, but rather than choosing to survive, they all leave to be with their loved ones. He follows them out, thwarted, but he went to such efforts to convince them, he now believes it himself, and the world he sees is a desolate wasteland, even though everything is fine.
Does this ring any bells for anybody? It was a superbly written thing, I've been hunting for it since I was a teenager.
