@Sprony yeah I know my dislike for Coppola raises eyebrows; but so it happens, of the movies I've seen by him, I've also read the books... and he ruined them for me. Except The Rainmaker, which is a great movie and probably my fav John Grisham story... but there's no movie adapted from a Grisham story that is bad, so I attribute the success of that to Grisham, rather than good script writing.
I haven't read Heart of Darkness, but the movie goes quite far from its setting anyway.
Dracula is anyway the movie that really put me off Coppola, and maybe more visually than anything else. The problem with his adapted movies is not much not respecting the novel... but actually be too close to the original material. He's actually the director that convinced me adaptations need to be adaptations, not 1:1 copies.
Anyway there are lots of older movies from him I haven't seen so I reserve final judgement for the future, but as of now I can only say that out of 6/7 movies I liked 1.
