Jordan Peele has been quite open about the influences on his film Get Out (Stanley Kubrick, George Romero, Bernard Rose, etc). Andrei Tarkovsky is not one of them. I know this. But the importance of the tea cup (both Solaris & Get Out feature hypnotic scenes involving tea cups) and various other scenes/shots in Get Out remind me of specific moments in Tarkovsky's Solaris.
(It should also be noted that both stories are rooted in science fiction as well)

The crashed spaceship in Alien always reminded me of the crashed plane in Ivan's Childhood. Fog and all...

Notice the similar positions of the onlookers in both The Mirror & Do The Right Thing as they watch the house & store burn in their respective films...

Similarly, these isolated moments in both The Mirror & There Will Be Blood are strangely identical from the way the characters are calmly seated one minute, then frantically run from the table to see fire close by...

Wim Wenders is no stranger to tipping his hat to filmmakers before him. Now...I highly doubt he had Nostalghia in mind when he made Wings Of Desire but these images/scenes are very similar...

Sandrine Bonnaire's suicide in Maurice Pialat's Under The Sun Of Satan always reminded me of the suicide in Solaris...

Haneke has mentioned Tarkovsky as a filmmaker that is responsible for some of his favorite films so it isn't out of line to assume he drew influence from Andrei Rublev...

Another possible Tarkovsky nod in The Tree Of Life...

Lynne Ramsay is no stranger to referencing older films (her feature film debut Ratcatcher uses music from Badlands and specific lines of dialogue from Ken Loach's Poor Cow), so this could be a possible reference...
