slug of time has up one of thomas m. disch's early short stories now. it's not explicitly about writer's block but it has the same meandering, occsionally whiny tone to it

i think the story's very good but i can see why others wouldn't agree

barton fink, though it seems like you're explicitly talking about written, not filmed, stories

The Shining. Well, the movie, anyway. But the book could be good, too, maybe.

Aha! Misery. There's one. And the Paul Auster Trilogy.
