Capitalize the first word and all other words except articles ("a," "an" and "the"), coordinating conjunctions ("for," "and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet" and "so") and very short prepositions ("in," "as" and "on"). For example, you would write "Gone With the Wind."
Capitalize the first word after a colon even if it is a word you would ordinarily write in lowercase. For example, you would write "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan."
Italicize or underline most film titles. However, if the film is very short, such as a theatrical short, put it in quotation marks instead.
Omit any additional citation information in-text if using Modern Language Association (MLA) format. You do not need to cite the screenwriter, director or producer.
Cite a film in-text with American Psychological Association (APA) format by writing the producer's and director's last names in parentheses, followed by the film's year of release. The names of the producer and director replace the name of the author in a normal in-text citation. For example:
In "The Empire Strikes Back," Luke undergoes multiple elements of the Hero's Journey (Lucas & Kershner, 1980).
