Examples:
Chang-dong Lee's Burning is a confident slow-burn mystery. It recalls Hitchcock, Antonioni's Blow-Up and, according to one critic, Jack Nicholson in The Pledge.
Good Time by the Safdie brothers had critics making comparison to Dog Day Afternoon, Heat and After Hours, with a touch of Of Mice and Men.
Christopher Nolan's action thriller Tenet juggles temporal concepts, similar to his previous films - but also contains a nod to Casablanca.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
