Poll: Movies With Matching Poems: Take Two

A poll by rubyfruit76
April is National Poetry Month in the United States. To celebrate, imagine that you are going to be stranded on an island, literal or, because we're talking about poetry, metaphorical, and you can only "take two" things: one poem and one film (and they must be related). Which movie, from the ten below, and thematically related poem, would you choose? (You will have to read the poem you choose at least a few times every time you watch the movie so remember to consider the poem in your decision.)

For easier reading and larger images, view with the media viewer here.

Take "Part One" (or "Take One"), which is a closely related poll, here.

After voting, discuss here in a sonnet (although plain old prose is just fine).
