Know I'm definitely missing some. Post below and I'll edit this.
There’s a part in Elaine May’s Mikey & Nicky (1976) that upon first viewing struck me as being super similar to the scene in Hard Eight when John won’t let Sydney inside the motel room. To my knowledge, he never mentioned it, and I'd need to give it it a rewatch, but it felt like something he'd pay homage to.
