Poll Suggestion: One-Book Wonder Movies

PS Breu this should be Idea not Question

Thank you for pointing out. I've changed it to idea.

Thank you, Peter. Deleted Pynchon.

Thank you for suggesting. I've put your suggestions on the list.

I asked chatgpt: "It was said that Harper Lee wrote a sequel to To Kill a Mockingbird and that it was a 'bestselling novel.' Is that correct?" It said: "Facts: Harper Lee published To Kill a Mockingbird in 1960. It was her only major success and was adapted into the 1962 film. Go Set a Watchman appeared in 2015, but it was an earlier draft written before Mockingbird. The publisher marketed it as a sequel, though it is really a rough precursor with the same characters. Yes, it became a 2015 bestseller, but mainly due to Mockingbird’s fame and the controversy surrounding its release. Critically, it was far less acclaimed. ➡️ Formally, she did have a second bestselling book. ➡️ By the stricter “one true, lasting success” standard, To Kill a Mockingbird remains her only genuine hit." Me: The task I gave Chatgpt in several steps was to make out autors with single books that were one-hit-wonders like one hit wonders in music. There were a lot, like David Dundas, Mungo Jerry and many CDs full of the same kind. The task was also about a movie made of this single success. I think the criteria do match. I also asked in a further critical step, like Peter mentioned to take this criteria and be more critical about the results. That's why some of the movies dropped out. I think it was only a bestseller because of the movie, not really because it was interesting.
