Later he goes to a theatre to see Touch of Evil. ... and speaks every word of the dialog before it is uttered in the movie. Very irritating for anyone else watching within earshot, but if I remember correctly, the theater was nearly empty. In The Player (1992) dir: Robert Altman, the Tim Robbins character tracks the Vincent D'Onofrio character to an art-house theater where he is watching Bicycle Thieves (1948) dir: Vittorio De Sica. Incidentally, "The Player" opens with a long tracking shot in homage to "Touch of Evil" while characters are discussing that movie. Orson Welles' films are favorites for this practice. I have seen "The Lady from Shanghai" and "The Third Man" quoted recently but I cannot remember in which movies. Other classics I have seen quoted more than once are "The Searchers" and "Double Indemnity". Woody Allen's Manhattan Murder Mystery references the hall of mirrors sequence from The Lady From Shanghai. I think parts of it are also shown.
