When writing my research paper, and I use the title of a movie, do I underline, italicize, or put the title in quotation marks? Not for the works cited, just when I'm in the middle of writing the paper.

Coop is right: you should italicise the title. (Underline it only if your computer or word processor can't do italics.)
The rule is: a long work (like a novel, a long poem, a play, a film, or the title of an album) has its title italicised; a short work (like a short poem or a song) has its title in inverted commas. So, _The Godfather_ would be in italics, _Paradise Lost_ would be in italics, but 'A Valediction Against Mourning' ( a short poem) would be in inverted commas.

In the paper, simply italicize the title. It's a good idea to put the year the film came out, too.

when writing the name of a movie, always underline.
