DVD/Movie

DVD

Films should be listed by title.  Include director, film studio or distributor and date of release.  If relevant (i.e. to help identify a specific version of a film), list actors after the director's name.

Pride and Prejudice. Directed by Joe Wright, performances by Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, Focus Features, 2006.


Sometimes one movie may have several DVD editions. It's helpful to have the original date of creation (1968 in this case) and also the date the DVD was released (2000) to help clarify which version you used.

Romeo and Juliet. 1968. Directed by Franco Zeffirelli. Paramount Pictures, 2000.
