I think most directors - probably all of them - pull from their personal favorite film history. The "problem" with Tarantino is his love of pop culture films means a much broader audience can identify his influences, at least those of a similar age to him (I've spoken to lots of people in their 20s who didn't know Thurman's outfit in Kill BIll 1 was a shout out to Bruce Lee's track suit in "Game of Death").
To dissect the other guys, you have to be much more of a film geek. Most people don't catch the references, the rest feel smug for knowing where they're from.
