The Great Gatsby

Widely regarded as a paragon of the “Great American Novel,” F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby has spawned not one, two, three—hell, not even five, but six film adaptations since its 1925 publication. A first edition copy in the original dust jacket (seen here) goes for upwards of $200,000. We're currently brushing up on Fitzgerald’s classic before Baz Luhrmann introduces the seventh adaptation in December of this year, purportedly in 3-D.
