Depends on the style you are required to write in. MLA or APA or other? They each have their own rules. Website above will make MLA or APA citations for you.

Answer 2

It could be either. As long as they are being differentiated from the rest of your essay. Generally, when writing an essay on a computer, titles are italicized, but when writing an essay by hand, its harder to italicize letters and so they're put in quotation marks.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

they both tell that its a title you could also underline it too

Answer 4

books should be underlined, but im mot sure about movies. although i am sure that my teacher said that 'bigger, more known' things should be underlined while 'lesser' things such as poems should be italisized if your're going to type your essay or in quotations if your're going to handwrite you essay. hope this helps :]
