Yeah actually I'm not a fan of Kings books or movies besides a few exceptions.
Of his books I liked The Dark Tower and some of his short stories I read, short like literally short stories. Stuff published in groups with other writers ect.
I liked the movies It(Tim Curry? awesome), Salems Lot, The Shining(although the book was a lot different I hear) and Pet Cemetery. I'm sure I'm forgetting some since he's done tons of stories for everything imaginable.
I agree he's not a great writer. He seems to run out of ideas and just go for some "shocking" gore or wierd plot twist that makes no sense. Although he kinda ties those into the Dark Tower. Maybe he made the Dark Tower to make his crazy plots make sense, guess it depends on how you look at it.

Random King story. I lived in Maine for a couple years and the mother of a girl I knew went to college with him. Said he was anti social and hung out in the library. It's believable because she's his age group and lives in the right area(and went to that college). Also it sounds realistic.
Another small one, I saw an old mill where he filmed for one of his movies, I forget which one atm.
