Hart Crane's, Chaplinesque, though not exactly about movies has got to be the finest evocation of movie derived imagery in poetry so far as I'm concerned.

I've experimented with movie iconography myself a few years ago writing a sonnet sequence taking Hopper's Nighthawks as a starting point and developing a series of film noir derived scenes from it.

Never got finished - one day maybe....
