I tryed finding information on how to cite a movie in MLA style but I am still confused. I need to cite the movie Smooth Talk by Joyce Chopra.
All I know is the name of the movie, director, pg-13 and 1986. Please help. Thank you.
Also, I need to cite a journal article. Is this correct?
Dickinson, Peter. “Riding in Cars with Boys: Reconsidering ‘Smooth Talk’” Literature-Film Quarterly. Vol:36 Issue:3 (2008) 202-214
Literature-Film Quarterly is underlined.

Give each one a try, and then repost. We'll help you know if you're correct or if anything needs changing.
To cite the movie Smooth Talk in MLA style, you would follow the general format for citing films. Here's an example:
Chopra, Joyce, director. Smooth Talk. 1986.
In this case, the director's name is Joyce Chopra, and the movie was released in 1986.
Now, let's move on to citing the journal article. In MLA style, the format for citing a journal article is as follows:
Author(s). "Title of Article." Title of Journal, volume number, issue number, year, page range.
Here's how you would cite the journal article you mentioned:
Dickinson, Peter. "Riding in Cars with Boys: Reconsidering 'Smooth Talk'." Literature-Film Quarterly, vol. 36, no. 3, 2008, pp. 202-214.
In this case, the author's name is Peter Dickinson, the article is titled "Riding in Cars with Boys: Reconsidering 'Smooth Talk'," it was published in Literature-Film Quarterly, volume 36, issue 3, in the year 2008, and the page range is 202-214.
Note that in MLA style, the title of the journal should be formatted with regular font, not underlined or italicized.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
