The French New Wave is, I think, the most influential filmic movement to occur in the latter half of last century.
A few essays I wrote to read at your leisure (and pleasure): A Brief History of the French New Wave . That will give you a short introduction to it, and to get specific, here's a review of A bout de souffle/Breathless (1959), a film in which you will find an endless amount of Tarantino-like references and in-jokes to popular culture.
Happy reading, Mick
