Yes, it was called "Dahmer". Go figure, huh?

From Wikipedia:
References in film
* The movie Jeffrey Dahmer: The Secret Life was released in 1993, starring Carl Crew as Dahmer.
* In 2002, the biopic Dahmer, starring Jeremy Renner in the title role, premiered in Dahmer's hometown. The film, which portrayed Dahmer in a somewhat sympathetic light, met with protest from the victims' families, and quickly went to video.
* Dahmer is mentioned in the Wes Craven film Scream 2 (1998), sarcastically as having been described as a nice, quiet guy by his neighbors.
* Dahmer was one of the serial killers emulated by the villain in the movie Copycat (1995). Like Dahmer, the villain went to gay bars and drugged his victims' drinks; he also cuts off one victim's head with a surgical saw.
* In the movie Demolition Man (1993), the criminal Simon Phoenix (played by Wesley Snipes) discovers Dahmer's name in a list of cryogenically frozen people and decides to release him, declaring, "Jeffrey Dahmer? I love that guy!" This scene is frequently deleted in modern broadcasts of the film due to the anachronistic reference.
* In the 2005 movie, The Ringer, starring Johnny Knoxville, Knoxville acts as a mentally retarded person trying to win money in the special Olympics; throughout the movie Knoxville's character is known as "Jeffy Dahmor".

By the way, I don't think you're sick. Serial killers are fascinating behavorial abherrations, and I've done a lot of research on them myself. Looking at them makes you feel a whole lot saner and more normal. ;)

They made one for cable called, surprisingly enough, "Dahmer". It shows up on the Encore channels from time to time.

I think it was shown around dinner time, so it wasn't seen by too many. They also showed it on an in flight movie when they ran out of food, and couldn't feed everybody. (It backfired though, it showed the passengers how to prepare the flight attendants for a quick snack.)

There's been a few specials about him on TV, but if there's a movie (like the made-for-tv john gacy one) I haven't seen it.
