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.
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.
Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon is part end-of-the-west western (think Giant) and part marital melodrama like Gaslight and Notorious.
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?
If you like Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, you might enjoy some films out of the eclectic mix it draws inspiration from - like Harold and Maude or Small Change.
Kogonada's Columbus meditates on life and our emotional response to our built environments. It recalls films like Red Desert and Lost in Translation. What else will it remind you of?
Raven Jackson's All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt evokes Tarkovsky's Mirror and Malick's The Tree of Life, exploring memory and emotion through sensory storytelling.
The Substance is a wild ride that blends body horror with themes of female empowerment, drawing comparisons to films like Society and Death Becomes Her, while offering a modern twist on The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Alfred Hitchcock filmed and edited Rope to look like one continuous shot. The long takes and hidden stitches have persisted in cinema ever since, moving out of the chamber play and onto the battlefield in 1917.
