One Movie, One Poem

rubyfruit76
A few weeks ago, coincidentally during National Poetry Month (April) in the United States, a film about poet Emily Dickinson, 'A Quiet Passion', was released in the UK. Now it has just been released more widely, in the U.S. and elsewhere. (The famous Emily Dickinson is widely considered to be one of the best, and most influential, poets ever.)

To celebrate this new, acclaimed film: Imagine that you are stranded on an island, literal or, because we're talking about poetry, metaphorical, and you are given only two representatives of arts and entertainment: one poem by Emily Dickinson and one film. Which movie, from the list below, and thematically related Dickinson poem, would you choose?
