Being featured in Entourage is by far F. Scott Fitzgerald's crowning achievement.

Awesome book, amazing author.

For those who like it you should check out the Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer, its a memoir about a guy who pretty much grew up in a bar in the town where Gatsby was set. Its cool how the book affected the town.

I really enjoyed the great gatsby in high school. it was definitely one of the better books that was required reading, although my favorite was to kill a mockingbird. I should reread the great gatsby though. it's been a long time.

One of those books that I've never read, but should, because everyone else in the world has.

Me too. I LOVED my Gatsby unit in English, and I must say getting to do a project Gatsbys America Dream lyrics in relation to the Great Gatsby was pretty A+

I liked it a lot, but the band is a little bit better than the book.

The dude from Law and Order did one. It didn't seem far off.

I haven't seen the film, but there's a version with Paul Rudd.

I really enjoyed the book too. Never could get into the band named after the book.

This could be a great film actually, I'm surprised it hasn't been done in quality sooner.

This has the potential to be a great film with the right cast... Not sure who I'd cast though.

I love everything I've seen with Paul Rudd so far, so I might refrain from watching this haha.

If anyone's seen the Hal Hartley movie Henry Fool, THAT'S who I want to play Gatsby. A little out there, I know...but if you've seen it (or Fay Grim) you know why.

I read this book in my AP language class in 11th grade. I really enjoyed it. I think i even wrote a paper about all the symbolism in the novel

All of you pining for a good movie adaptation should check this out
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071577/

Robert Redford and Mia Farrow. Its a great film. I doubt any movie made now would top it.
