Titles of stand-alone works (books, plays and movies) are italicized (or underlined). Also, titles of magazines and other periodicals (and newspapers) should be treated in the same way as titles of books - that is italicized or underlined.

Titles of works that normally appear in collections or in periodicals go in quotation marks (poems, short stories, academic articles, newspaper articles).

Underlining is sometimes used as an alternative to italics. Use either the one or the other consistently: do not use both. (If you are a student, follow the conventions in use at your school or college).

- Movie titles, TV shows, etc.

Movie titles are italicized, except for very short movies, which case are put in quotations.

Titles of TV Shows and Series are also italicized. Titles of episodes of TV shows, however, are put in quotation marks. For example, episode "Bad Blood" of The X-files.

- Songs and albums

Song titles should go in quotation marks and titles of albums should be italicized.
According to MLA formatting, book titles require either italics or underlining.
