Just thought I'd let you chaps know that Catcher in the Rye is mentioned in the film Submarine. 90.198.95.181 ( talk) 04:11, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
Curious as to why no mention of SouthPark episode The Tales of Scrotie McBoogerballs that mentions Catcher in the Rye. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NJplaintext ( talk • contribs) 23:23, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Killing Caulfield have become more prominent in pop culture starting the mid-2005
Not only does this line not make much sense it also sounds like advertisement (seeing as how there's a link to the band's website directly after it). I'm taking it out. Levid37 18:04, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
What about that movie "Finding Forester" ? —Preceding

A movie released in 2001 with this description - "Neil Lawrence (Qualls) is sent to a boarding school by his father. During his first couple days, he meets T.J. (Blanchard) who he falls in love with. After being assigned a paper on Holden Caufield, the main character in J.D. Salinger's "Catcher In The Rye", Neil decided to go on a journey to meet J.D. who he feels has played a huge role in his life. Then Neil & T.J. decide to cut class to take a journey to New York City which leads to more turns then they both could have imagined in which both their lives are changed forever".
I feel it has a place on this page but I'm not the one to put it up, just wanted to alert someone to it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 166.102.176.94 ( talk) 20:24, 28 March 2007 (UTC).
I can't believe that the Stephen King short story "Rage" and the movie "Igby Goes Down" weren't included. They are both shameless Catcher rip-offs Hooperxxx 01:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Ray Kinsella's book has more to do with the author J.D. Salinger himself, who appears as a character in the novel, but I would think that it would deserve a reference on this page.
Nevermind, trying to delete my comment.

Catcher is cited as reading material for preppies in The Official Preppy Handbook. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.89.192.125 ( talk) 04:55, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't this article contain a reference, at least, to comic strip Frazz, in which one of the main charachers is markedly inspired by Holden Caulfield? (I don't know many English language comics, maybe there are more...)-- 129.192.97.6 ( talk) 08:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC) (Sorry for not being registered... Sooner or later...)
There should also be a reference to the comic St._Swithin's_Day_(comics), where "We first meet the lead character, a teenager (who is not given a name in the story) shoplifting a copy of Catcher in the Rye from a London bookshop. His reason for stealing the book is not clear beyond him saying they can find it in his pocket "when this is all over".". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.71.98.83 ( talk) 12:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
The Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution's song "Here's to Life" on their EP A Call to Arms contains the lyrics "Holden Caulfield is a friend of mine, we go drinking from time to time, and I find: it gets harder every time ... Hey there Salinger what did you do, just when the world was looking to you, to write anything that meant anything, you told us you were through. And it's been years since you passed away, but I see no plaque and I see no grave, and I can't help believing, you wanted it that way."
Streetlight Manifesto's song "Here's to Life" mentions Holden Caulfield and J.D. Salinger. Should these be merged? The songs are written and sung by the same lead singer who is known more for the band Streetlight Manifesto. Clockwrist ( talk) 03:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Laughing Man (or the kid pretending to be laughing man) was talking to Makoto in the library, and he quoted the book while pointing out that someone had wrote the word 'fuck' on the banister. - NemFX ( talk) 04:46, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
The Laughing Man references Catcher in the Rye all the time, even calling people phonies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.161.130 ( talk) 21:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC) This should be mentioned in the article. I know it's already on here at the end but it is a reference in popular culture so it should be at least linked to here. 184.241.12.162 ( talk) 20:42, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I look at the references to "phonies" on the simpsons but personally i disagree that they are related to "Catcher in the Rye" Phil Nolte ( talk) 12:04, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Major reference to Catcher in the Rye by the character Paul played by Will Smith http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Separation_(film) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.4.135.235 ( talk) 08:50, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
Anyone else think this is absolutely horrendous? I think all the passing references should be removed. They have absolutely zero substance. Half of this article is now a list of pop culture references. Is this the model for Wikipedia articles now because many I have come across list every single Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Robot Chicken reference. It's no wonder people consider these lists to be 'nerd trivia'. RadioEverleigh ( talk) 18:09, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
In this song, Andy Samberg refers to actors as Hollywood phonies, and seems to act in an irrationally rebellious manner just like Holden — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.150.199 ( talk) 00:41, 4 December 2011 (UTC)
A reference this humble reader has made some weeks ago in Television section was removed under the charge of Unreferenced or inadequately referenced content, which totally baffles me. Here's the reference

Notable perhaps because it references the "connection" to assassinations. Somebody asks an aspiring stalker "where's your copy of catcher in the rye?". 199.7.159.116 ( talk) 05:41, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
