For over 20 years The Simpsons<\/a><\/strong> has been referencing movies from Citizen Kane<\/a>\u00a0(1941) to Basic Instinct<\/a>\u00a0(1992).<\/p>\n

The show has been running for so long that when you do a\u00a0comprehensive\u00a0list like this it reads like an index to a history of cinema.<\/p>\n

A French website<\/a>\u00a0(‘The Simpsons Park’) has collected an incredible gallery of screen shots and animated gifs that lays out the original Simpsons episode alongside the particular film.<\/p>\n

The range is astonishing: Kubrick, Bergman,\u00a0Hitchcock, Scorsese, Lumet, Spielberg, Coppola and Truffaut are just some of the many directors referenced.<\/p>\n
