What are some good movies about writers and writing?!
Question: I am looking for movies about writers, whether fictitious or famous, or about the process of writing a novel. Does anyone know of any good ones?
Thank you.

about the writing of novels and screenplays:

Barton Fink
Wonder Boys
Misery
The Dark Half
Secret Window (writer's block)

Deconstructing Harry
Factotum
Capote (about researching and writing "In Cold Blood")

Some of these are marginal I imagine, but some do delve into the process, whether drama or comedy or somewhat of a dramedy.
Prozac Nation
Sylvia
Misery
thats all i can think of right now
i know a t.v show Californication.
I liked Stranger than Fiction with Will Ferrell. It was funny and it made you think.
I liked the Secret Window
I heard Freedom Writers was really good.
"Capote" deals with a creative non-fiction novel, and it's one hell of a good movie.
"The Shining" deals with not writing a novel. Good on process, but not an altogether successful process.
