Note on Variety in Film Citations. Always include the film title, the name of the director, the film studio or distributor, its release year,
and the format information if not screened in a theater (Include format names; "Videocassette" for VHS or Betamax, DVD for Digital Video
Disc. Also list original release year after director, performers, etc.). Note that I listed the Hamlet films by name of director. You can also
see films listed by their title above. Note also that other information, like names of performers, if relevant to how the film is referred to in
your paper, should be included as well. If you refer to the film in terms of the role or contribution of a director, writer, or performer, begin
the entry with that person's name, last name first, followed by role.
