The Movie Paterson directed by Jim Jarmusch Features a Love Poem Inspired by Matches!
In the opening scene in the movie paterson, Adam Driver named Paterson plays a bus driver for the Paterson NJ Transit who breaks up the monotony of his life by writing original poetry based upon observations of the world around him.
The first poem that the film opens with that he writes is a Love Poem inspired by his collection of OHIO BLUE TIP matches (that was originally written in 1979 by the real poet Ron Padgett as a love poem to his wife).
The poem goes into great detail about his collection of household's match boxes, the construction of the match boxes and their match sticks and focuses intently on the color of the blue tip (match heads).

I've been a big fan of Jim Jarmusch - IMDb since his first indie film Stranger Than Paradise (1984) and matches have always played a part as a plot device in most of his films!

Here are some quotes from the article written BY SCOTT REITZ
"Some of the matchbook memories are more visceral than others. A blue box marks a memorable dinner I had with my mom at Zatinya in D.C. A black one with thin white lettering marks a birthday party where all my friends gathered to mark my third decade of not dying. I like those matches for far more than candle-lighting. Digging through the bowl is like paging through a photo album filled with my life's great meals.
... the business cards that have replaced [restaurants'] boxes don't have the same appeal. I'll grab one when I walk into a restaurant, but then it just sits in my wallet until the corners round and I dump them out on my dresser like playing cards. The restaurant Rolodex doesn't have nearly the romance as my bowl of matches. I need that strike of sulfur to ignite my memories.

We bet you'll never guess what was valued at as much as $3,000 on a recent episode of "Pawn Stars..."
Matchboxes. Wait, what?!
But wait, these weren’t just any old matchboxes — they were from Led Zeppelin’s legendary Boeing 720 plane, The Starship One. (Video via YouTube / Thanasis Papadimitrou)
"If you framed them up and presented them well, $2,500 to $3,000 dollars for these," said Warwick on "Pawn Stars.""$2,500 might seem like a lot for some matches, but rock and roll collectors would go crazy for this stuff."
After an expert [in paper ephemera] examined the matchboxes, they were deemed authentic.
And if that wasn't cool enough, each box included The Starship One's logo and the names of several important passengers it carried over the years, including Elton John, Peter Frampton and Alice Cooper. Rock on.
