The killers of Jamie Bulger said they were influenced by a character called Chuckie but as I don't watch those sort of films, I don't know which one it was.

As far as I'm aware none.
Clockwork Orange had some alleged copy cat attacks carried where people dressed as droogs - it was the 70's though
Natrual Born Killers had violence in cinemas where it was shown
The Jamie Bulger tragedy/Childs Play connection was blown up the media - mainly down to the fact that one of the killers father had rented the video, there was no evidence the children had seen the film. An MP who took up this an an example wanted the banning of all videos with material unsuitable for children - which would have left only family films available on video, effectively destroying the home video market

Its a ridiculous idea that someone can blame a film for thier actions.
I watched Saw 3 the other week, but I'm not gonna start killing people off in bizarre ways.
And I watched Pulp Fiction last night, but I'm not gonna go round shooting people up Q. Tarantino style.
Its just the kind of people that watch the films, nothing to do with the films themselves.

Yea, it happens all the time!
The people who commited the crime are called "Copy Cats."
Lots of teens ran kids over because of the movie "xXx"(Triple X)

u won't find any documented.
films make profit, hence any negative stories stay on the editors desk & never make it 2 print.
