• Catch-22 (film by Nichols)
• Catch-22 (novel by Heller)

catch-22 situation

...
Heller used Catch-18 instead of Catch-22 when the first chapter of his book was originally published in 1955. He changed it by the time the entire book was published in 1961 because his publisher had already published a book that year with "18" in the title! So 1961 is when the phrase catch- 22 first appeared. It was first used figuratively in 1971 in Atlantic Monthly magazine. Today the term is hyphenated only when it is used as an adjective, as in catch-22 situation.
