"A guideline for doing an MLA citation would be If you watched the film Casablanca on DVD and wish to cite it, use the citation format for DVD (not the film original) and if you watched Casablanca in a movie theater, use citation format for film. An example of a good movie to watch and cite would be: ""On the Waterfront"" from 1954. Also, ""Frankenstein"" from 1931 starring Boris Karloff. You
. could also watch ""Spellbound"" from 1945 by Alfred Hitchcock. Another excellent example would be ""Taxi Driver"", directed by Martin Scorsese and released in 1976. http://www.babinlearn.com/mla.htm"
