Examples:

Jordan Peele's Nope blends influences from Jaws and Tremors, while paying homage to Akira and The Searchers, creating a unique sci-fi horror.
Christopher Nolan's action thriller Tenet juggles temporal concepts, similar to his previous films - but also contains a nod to Casablanca.
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.
Nickel Boys draws connections to films like The Defiant Ones, Moonlight, and Son of Saul, weaving a powerful narrative on race and trauma.
Anthony Scott Burns' Come True recalls John Carpenter's The Prince of Darkness, Hideo Nakata's Ringu and David Cronenberg's Videodrome.
Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest lenses evil through the mundane, drawing parallels to Shoah and The Act of Killing.
Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon is part end-of-the-west western (think Giant) and part marital melodrama like Gaslight and Notorious.
The Holdovers by Alexander Payne channels the spirit of classics like Harold and Maude and Dead Poets Society, blending humor and heart in a tale of unlikely connections.
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.
