2. 2013 DiCaprio Version – Where to Watch

This is the big, stylized Baz Luhrmann adaptation with Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan.

Streaming / subscription:

  • Prime Video (2013 version is available to stream with a subscription in many regions).
  • Some regions also get it on premium or cable‑linked services (e.g., HBO‑style or local equivalents), but this rotates and is region‑locked.

Rent or buy (digital):

  • Amazon Video – rent or buy in HD; also often offers UHD where supported.
  • Apple TV Store – rent or buy, with 4K options listed on devices like Roku.
  • Fandango at Home (formerly Vudu) – digital rental or purchase in HD / 4K.
  • Google Play Movies / YouTube Movies – available for rent or purchase alongside other English‑language dramas.

Library-style streaming (free with card):

  • Kanopy – streams the 2013 The Great Gatsby at no extra cost if your public library or university participates.
  • Hoopla – also lists the film for free streaming with supported library cards.

Mini-tip: If you’re a student or heavy library user, checking Kanopy/Hoopla first can turn Gatsby night into a completely free watch.

3. 1974 Redford Version – Where to Watch

If you want a more old‑school, “film class” vibe, the 1974 adaptation with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow is probably what you’re after.

Subscription streaming:

  • Often appears on Amazon Prime Video or Hulu‑type services depending on your region, sometimes bundled into film‑classic collections.
  • May also show up on MGM+ or similar classic‑movie oriented platforms.

Rent / buy:

  • Apple TV – can be streamed as a standalone title.
  • YouTube – available for rent or purchase, useful if you don’t want another subscription.
  • Fubo / MGM+ – sometimes host the 1974 version in their film lineups.

4. If You’re Watching on a Device (Roku, etc.)

If you’re on a Roku or similar streaming stick/TV, The Great Gatsby (2013) is easy to pull up:

  • Roku’s interface highlights:
    • Prime Video – stream with subscription.
* **Fandango at Home** – rent/buy (HD or 4K from around $3.99).

* **Apple TV** – rent/buy in HD or 4K.

Roku basically acts as a hub: once you find Gatsby in its search, it shows which apps on your device have it and whether it’s included with your membership or needs a rental.

5. Quick Decision Guide

Here’s a simple way to pick your route:

  1. “I already pay for Prime Video.”
    • Watch the 2013 DiCaprio version directly if it’s included in your country’s Prime catalog.
  1. “I want it totally free (no new subs).”
    • Check Kanopy or Hoopla with your library/university login for the 2013 film.
  1. “I want the classic 70s feel.”
    • Look for the 1974 Redford version on Prime Video, Apple TV, Fubo, MGM+, or rent it on YouTube.
  1. “I just want the best quality rental tonight.”
    • Compare Apple TV and Fandango at Home for 4K rentals of the 2013 film (commonly starting around standard new‑release rental pricing).

6. Trending & Context (2026)

  • The Great Gatsby keeps resurfacing on streaming lineups whenever:
    • New adaptations or stage versions trend.
    • Classic‑lit TikTok or BookTok revisits Fitzgerald’s novel.
  • Updated guides in early 2026 still highlight Prime Video, Apple TV, Fubo, MGM+, and YouTube as the main digital homes for the film versions.

So if you see chatter about Gatsby on social or forums this year, odds are people are watching either the 2013 visual spectacle on Prime/Apple TV or rediscovering the 1974 classic through subscription bundles and library platforms.
