Is a movie title italicized, put in quotes, or underlined? I've googled this and looked in books, but I've heard different things. What is the most recent rule? Thanks.

Italicized or underlined -- just like books. Just be consistent.

Movie titles are underlined.

To determine how to format a movie title in written text, you need to consider the style guide you are following. Different style guides have different rules. The most recent rule may vary depending on the style guide being used or the specific context in which you are writing.

Here are the general guidelines for the three most commonly used style guides:

1. APA (American Psychological Association): According to the APA style, movie titles should be italicized (e.g., The Shawshank Redemption).

2. MLA (Modern Language Association): The MLA style uses italics for longer works, including movies (e.g., The Dark Knight). However, if you are unable to use italics, you can use quotation marks (e.g., "The Dark Knight").

3. Chicago Manual of Style: The Chicago Manual of Style suggests italicizing or underlining movie titles (e.g., The Godfather). If you are unable to use italics, you can use quotation marks (e.g., "The Godfather").

It's important to note that the most recent rule may vary depending on the edition of the style guide being used, so it's always a good idea to consult the specific style guide relevant to your writing. Additionally, some publishers or style guides may have their own specific preferences, so it's always a good idea to follow their guidelines if they provide any.

If you are writing for a particular publication or institution, it's best to consult their specific style guide or ask for clarification.
