Insomnia

A movie about a cop who goes to Alaska and can’t sleep because it is daylight most of the time. He then accidentally shoots his partner and instead of just saying, “Sorry, I didn’t mean it,” he lies and says a one-armed man did it.

(well, maybe not a one-armed man, but he didn’t say that imaginary guy had TWO arms)

Now he can’t sleep because it is daylight all the time and he shot someone and is trying to cover it up.

It gets more complicated than this before the end, but the guy really never gets much sleep before he is shot and dies.

Of course, it’s rare to have a movie named after a disorder. But I found a few others and their taglines.

Anorexia Nervosa…Guess who’s not coming for dinner?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity…Feels like the first time…but it isn’t.
Borderline Personality….You’ll Love it and Hate it!
Insomnia…Days never end. Nightmares are real. No one is innocent.
Narcissistic …Of course, it’s about you….
Obsessive-Compulsive…You’ll want to see it over and over and over and over…and over. And then one more time. For now.
Panic….A Story of Family, Lust, Murder ...and Other Midlife Crises
Paranoid …You can run, but they’ll be waiting for you to laugh when you get there.
Tourette’s….The &^%$%^&% best &!#@$^*()*&^% movie of the &%$&(^% year!
