* ''Film/GettingStraight'': During his oral exam for his master's degree, Harry says he considers ''The Great Gatsby'' to be F. Scott Fitzgerald's greatest work. He says, "I suppose because the character of Gatsby fascinates me so. His great illusion that you can use wealth or power to buy back the life you misspent trying to acquire them. It's the American dream." One of the examiners criticizes him for "overlooking" the examiner's pet interpretation, that Carraway is in love with Gatsby as an expression of Fitzgerald's repressed homosexual panic.

* ''Series/TheWire'': In the second season episode "All Prologue", the prison book class D'Angelo is in discusses the novel, and D'Angelo, who can relate to the title character, makes a poignant speech about him:
-->'''D'Angelo:''' He's saying that the past is always with us, and where we come from, what we go through, how we go through it, all this shit matters. I mean, that's what I thought he meant.\\
'''Class Leader:''' Go ahead.\\
'''D'Angelo:''' Like at the end of the book, you know, boats and tides and all. It's like you can change up, right, you can say you somebody new, you can give yourself a whole new story. But, what came first is who you really are and what happened before is what really happened. And it don't matter that some fool say he different cuz the only thing that make you different is what you really do, what you really go through. Like, ya know, like all them books in his library. He frontin' with all them books, but if you pull one down off the shelf, ain't none of the pages ever been opened. He got all them books, and he ain't read near one of 'em. Gatsby, he was who he was, and he did what he did. And cuz he wasn't ready to get real with the story, that shit caught up to him. I think, anyway.
