Salinger and film

In reference to our class discussion last week, Salinger's short story "Uncle Wiggily in Connecticut" was adapted into the Hollywood film My Foolish Heart (1949). Salinger loathed film and subsequently refused permissions for any of his work to be adapted for the movies.
Here are a few films that "appropriate" his fiction:
Chasing Holden
Directing Rye
Igby Goes Down
