How do I cite a Movie in MLA Style?

Answer

Citing Movies in MLA Style

Begin with the title and include the director, the distributor and the year of release. You may include other pertinent information – such as the names of the writer, performers, and producer – between the title and distributor. This is especially helpful whenever several versions of the film have been made.

Template

Name of performer/composer, performer/composer. Name of the movie. Director, Production Company, Year. Streaming service if applicable.
