The reference should contain the relevant important information, including as a minimum: title, director, distributor, and date. Other information (producer, artists) may be provided if it is relevant.
- The Grapes of Wrath, dir. by John Ford (20th-Century Fox, 1940).
- I Walked with a Zombie, dir. by Jacques Tourneur, prod. by Val Lewton (RKO Radio Pictures, 1940).
- ‘Storytelling: Trailer’, Storytelling, dir. by Todd Solondz (New Line Home Video, 2001 [on DVD]), Chapter 1.
- A Night at the Opera, dir. by Sam Wood, perf. by the Marx Bros (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1935), on DVD (Warner Home Video, 2004).
