The music video for Music/GoodKid's "Mimi's Delivery Service" contains recreations of multiple shots from ''Anime/KikisDeliveryService'', [[PopCulturePunEpisodeTitle the movie the song is named after]].

* ''Film/TheParentTrap1998'': After checking in at the hotel, Nick and Meredith enter the elevator ''en route'' to their suite, when Nick turns around and sees Elizabeth in the lobby. The sight of his old wife poleaxes him so thoroughly that he leans dramatically to the side to keep her in view as the elevator door closes--just like it does with Creator/CaryGrant in ''Film/MyFavoriteWife''.

The sight of her poleaxes him so thoroughly that he leans dramatically to the side to keep her in view as the elevator door closes. The whole sequence is a recreation of the same scene from ''[[Film/MyFavoriteWife Move Over, Darling]]''.

* ''ComicBook/HarleyQuinn'': The 18th issue of the second run's cover is an homage to the cover of Superman #421, with [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Captain Strong]] (who makes his first New 52 appearance in this issue) lifting up Harley who is occupying the same place as Superman in that cover, i.e. hiding inside a phone both (except, since this is a comic from 2015, Harley asks "[[UnintentionalPeriodPiece what the hell is a phone booth?!]]").

** Grand Moff Tarkin's arrival on Lothal parallels Darth Vader's arrival on the Death Star II in the opening of ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi''. And for bonus points, the Imperial March from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' is playing.

* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'': In a non-cover example, ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko The Amazing Spider-Man #33]]''. No matter the reality, no matter if it's [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan animated]], [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming live-action]], [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 video game]] or an {{Elseworlds}} ComicBook/WhatIf where Flash Thompson became Spider-Man - there ''will'' be a scene of Spider-Man lifting a pile of rubble out from under him, and it ''will'' be [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment awesome]]. ComicBook/NickFury even went so far as to imply it's a multiversal constant.

* In particular, the number of comic book covers which homage the ''Comicbook/XMen'' story ''ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast'' cover (the one with the 'wanted' and 'deceased' posters on the wall) is truly staggering.
* As is the number of homages to ''Comicbook/TheDarkKnightReturns'' (namely the issue featuring Batman leaping through the sky as lightning strikes in the background).
* Many covers as well as panels homage ComicBook/ActionComics #1, the debut appearance of Superman, [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness which showed him picking up a car and scaring people around him]]. Even one ComicBook/MiniMarvels comic referenced it.
%%* Jim Sternako's cover to ''ComicBook/NickFury, Agent of ComicBook/{{SHIELD}}'' #4, with the hero posed before a collage of psychedelic patterns and monochrome action shots.
* In a non-cover example, ''[[ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManLeeAndDitko Amazing Spider-Man #33]]''. No matter the reality, no matter if it's [[WesternAnimation/TheSpectacularSpiderMan animated]], [[Film/SpiderManHomecoming live-action]], [[VideoGame/SpiderManPS4 video game]] or an {{Elseworlds}} ComicBook/WhatIf where Flash Thompson became Spider-Man - there ''will'' be a scene of Spider-Man lifting a pile of rubble out from under him, and it ''will'' be [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMoment awesome]]. ComicBook/NickFury even went so far as to imply it's a multiversal constant.

** Aragorn throwing an apple at Pippen parallels the apple trees doing likewise at The Scarecrow.

* ''LightNovel/DirtyPair'' OVA #6 has a scene with Yuri and her mob-scion/fiance-for-an-episode running along the beach in the setting sun, tripping and rolling/falling and finally kissing. It looks like a commercial, and it is, sort of. Yuri and Beau are directly re-creating a lipstick commercial from an old ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' episode. Only the commercial famously cut out right before the kiss.

* Episode 11 of ''LightNovel/NyarukoCrawlingWithLove'' features several shots that are homages to the ''Manga/UruseiYatsura'' movie ''Beautiful Dreamer''; this is because Mahiro, much like the ''UY'' cast, has been traped in a GroundhogDayLoop-ing dream world.

Film directors start out as movie buffs, often of the most obscure sorts of films. On top of that, many modern directors went to film school and saw hundreds of legendary movies. Even after they get to direct movies of their own, they often love to use angles, compositions, and shots they saw in school. Of course, all directors use tricks and shots invented long before. But while anyone can do a PowerWalk, it takes skill and devotion to light and shoot a power walk exactly like Philip Kaufmann did in ''Film/TheRightStuff'' (especially if your film isn't about astronauts).

* ''Film/{{Titanic 1997}}'' homages ''Film/ANightToRemember'' in the scene where Andrews is checking the clock and calmly accepting his fate (the page pic). Even the dialogue is lifted from the original scene as Rose (in the older movie, a steward instead) asks him if he's "gonna make a run for it". Andrews [[ThousandYardStare looks at her without answering]].

* ''WesternAnimation/GuillermoDelTorosPinocchio'' the bomb that causes Carlo's death is shown to be dropped in a manner that [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/844604104134885430/1062805945043914893/image.png recreates]] the shot of the bomb at the beginning of del Toro's earlier movie ''Film/TheDevilsBackbone''.

* The climax of [[VillainSong "Be Prepared"]] in ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'' is another homage to ''Film/TriumphOfTheWill''. It's particularly blatant because the geometry of the cave is quite suddenly artificial looking to invoke the city setting of ''Triumph Of The Will''.

* Animation copying animation: Several of the shots during the final chase in the first ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' episode at Camp Wanaweep look exactly like a ''WesternAnimation/JonnyQuest'' episode that also featured a villain like that in ''Film/CreatureFromTheBlackLagoon''. Gill swims down through the bubbles in the same pose and as the creature.
