Stretching the subject a bit again, but there was the 1994 film on Eliot's first marriage, Tom and Viv, in which Willem Dafoe abso-fucking-lutely nails Eliot's speaking voice. He must have listened to every recording the man ever made. (If you want to admire an actor, watch Dafoe in that film and Platoon back-to-back.) And I bet there were a slew of films on poets.
