Capitalizing and Formatting the Titles of Movies

The entire title of a long-form work like a movie should be italicized, not in quotes.

Example

Andy is going to be late to the movie  Night at the Museum  if he doesn’t leave soon.

Follow these steps to capitalize the title of a movie:

  1. Capitalize the first word and last word of the title
  2. Capitalize all “in-between words” except for the following:
FANBOYS (conjunctions)
for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so
Prepositions
of, in, on, at, to, as, by, with
Articles
a, an, the
Examples
