It really depends. I don't think seeing specific movies applies in a lot of ways. When I was in film school every jackass was trying to make Resevior Dogs shorts, so there was a lot of cigarettes.
Most films don't apply in a very direct way. Watch a lot of different stuff. Go to indie festivals and foreign film nights. A lot of it will be ass, but some of it will blow you away.
Then figure out how to to that yourself in some way.
