Gladiator II (2024) by Ridley Scott
Hanno recites some verses upon Caracalla's request of commenting the fight he's just won.
The original verses are from Book VI (126-129) of Aeneid: they're part of a prophecy Aeneas receives from the Cumaean Sybil, priestess presiding over the Apollonian oracle at Cumae, near Naples
Facilis descensus Averno;
Noctes atque dies patet atri ianua Ditis;
Sed revocare
Gradum superasque evadere ad auras,
Hoc opus, hic labor est
The English translation is
Easy is the descent to Avernus;
Night and day the door of gloomy Dis stands open;
But to recall
One's steps and pass out to the upper air,
This is the task, this is the toil
Dante Alighieri took the concept of Dis (originally Pluto, the god presiding Avernus, the pagan afterlife) and used it as a synonym for Lucifer; as a matter of fact, the lowest part of hell in the Divina Commedia is called "città di Dite" (city of Dis), in opposition to "città di Dio", that is Heaven.

Shadow of the Vampire (2000) by E. Elias Merhige
Max Schreck reads out the opening verses from Thitonus (1833) by Alfred Tennyson, a poem which retells the Greek myth of a prince of Troy who fell in love with Eos, the goddess of dawn.
He got immortality from her, but not immortal youth; that's why at the end of the poem death becomes his only wish.
