    "Look at Nicolas Cage. He made many horrible movies. Snake Eyes, 8mm, Gone in 60 Seconds, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Windtalkers, Ghost Rider, Family Man, Weather Man, Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous. But then he nailed it, Stan, with National Treasure 2, the greatest movie of all time!"

    💠 #A2Z-PanoPhotos #weekM for #MovieTitle I think it's a perfect #MovieTitle fit for your Perfekt #beach #pano. The 2001 movie "Captain Corelli's Mandolin" was shot in many locations of Kefalonia, showing the beauty of the island to the world. Thanks so much, Myahcat! ☺️

    I feel like one could have a double feature nostalgia night with Captain Corelli's Mandolin but I can't tell if the second movie would be The Red Violin or Tea with Mussolini. Maybe Under the Tuscan Sun?

    Kesselring's Coup Just been writing about the tragic massacre of the Italian division on Kefalonia in 1943, which inspired the novel and subsequent movie Captain Corelli's Mandolin staring Nicolas Cage.

    I WISH I could've seen this as a date movie. I had to make do with Captain Corelli's Mandolin, which sucked

    The same creative team would make Captain Corelli's Mandolin a few years later and that's the same movie? Same general quality, so why didn't that win? Because the Weinstein machine had moved on. Late 90s all through the 2000s (except Return of the King) is mostly a joke of an Oscars era.

    I am not a writer but I did manage to get two different letters published in Entertainment Weekly years back. One for 'Lost' and another for bad movie adaptations (Captain Corelli's Mandolin). Go for the low-brow publications. They are easier to find.

    Just found out about *Eleni,* apparently a classic non-fiction account of the brutality of Nazis and communists in 40s and 50s Greece. Is it weird that the author is one Nicholas Gage, considering who's in the film of *Captain Corelli's Mandolin* (which also touches on Nazis and communists?)

    Especially Captain Corelli's Mandolin. The worst film adaptation of all time. Read the book!

    I haven't seen it. But I can imagine it'd be hard to get the atmosphere of the book onto the screen. Good books do not always make good films; people were very disappointed with the film version of Captain Corelli's Mandolin, for instance.

    tbf, seven or eight years from publication to TV/film adaptation seems to be pretty normal. To pick a couple of giant hit books from the past, Captain Corelli's Mandolin took eight years from book to screen, Gone With the Wind was only three, but it was famously optioned before publication!

    You used to be able to make a movie and call it Captain Corelli's Mandolin or something and that was okay. People let you do it.

    Look at Nicolas Cage. He made many horrible movies. Snake Eyes, 8mm, Gone in 60 Seconds, Captain Corelli's Mandolin, Windtalkers, Ghost Rider, Family Man, Weather Man, Wicker Man, Bangkok Dangerous. But the he nailed it, Stan! With National Treasure 2, the greatest movie of all time!
