Examples:
Jennifer Kent's The Babadook rekindled our interest in contemporary horror after years of remakes and retreads. Its motifs have been used in films such as Lights out, His House and Under the Shadow.
Paul Greengrass' News of the World starring Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel has critics recalling the filmographies of John Wayne and James Stewart, as well as François Truffaut's The Wild Child.
Rian Johnsons' ambitious and inventive The Last Jedi owes a debt to the films of Akira Kurosawa, just like the original Star Wars films helmed by George Lucas.
Steven Soderberg's Logan Lucky takes the heist film and puts it in NASCAR territory. Comparisons to The Killing are appropriate, but also From Russia With Love and Raising Arizona.
Edgar Wright's Last Night in Soho fuses the conceit of Midnight in Paris with Repulsion, Don't Look Now and the giallo aesthetic of Argento and Bava.
Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot is a classic comedy that challenged the Hays Code. The film's legacy sees plenty of drag-themed comedies, for better or worse.
Quentin Tarantino loves cinema - he packs his films full of references and homages. Pulp Fiction is no exception. Have you seen Charley Varrick?
Todd Phillips' Joker models Arthur Fleck after Travis Bickle (Taxi Driver) and Rupert Pupkin (The King of Comedy) and even stars Robert De Niro himself in a finale channeling Network.
Debra Granik's Leave no Trace shows the fringes of society, a father and daughter living off-grid and in the wild. What other films will it remind you of?
