Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
 -  Riding the bomb to it's target references Slim Pickens' famous Dr Strangelove scene.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
 -  Both the scene where Mace, Capa and Harvey jet from airlock to airlock is almost identical to the scene in 2001 where Dave does the same thing, and the part where Icarus 2s voice starts to deepen and slow when the cores are pulled out is very reminiscent of HAL singing "A Bicycle Made for Two" as Dave turns him off.
Silent Running (1972)
 -  A spaceship carrying Earth flora and ecosystems.
Dark Star (1974)
 -  Character name (Pinback/Pinbacker). Also set on a spaceship carrying out a bomb mission.
Alien (1979)
 -  Character jokes about the film while entering the Icarus I. Also the claustrophobic setting & the "alone-in-space" scenario is a direct reference to Alien
Event Horizon (1997)
 -  The transformation of the Captain of the Icarus I (Pinbacker) bears a huge resemblance to the transformation of Dr. William Weir. The scene with Pinbacker in the observation room on the Icarus II is almost identical to one scene with Dr. Weir on the bridge on the Event Horizon.
