there were two different movies made about the Great Gatsby one was the 1974 version and the other was the 2000 version.

The Great Gatsby
1974
Director: Jack Clayton
Rated: PG

This is an elegant and faithful adaptation of the original novel. The film stars Robert Redford as Gatsby and Mia Farrow as Daisy. Also features an impressive performance by Bruce Dern as Tom Buchannan. The film won Oscars in 1975 for best costume design and best original musical score. Even still, reviewers of the day panned it, with most feeling the film lacked emotional depth in spite of the powerful work on which it was based.

The Great Gatsby
2000
Not Rated

This A&E Television Network version stars Toby Stephens as Gatsby and Mira Sorvino as Daisy. This adaptation follows the original work very closely. So, in addition to being quite entertaining, this movie would make for good review material.
