What are all the film references in 'Me and Earl and the Dying Girl'? - Person Wearing Red Lipstick Biting Film

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl contains many low-budget parodies of classic films and I'm trying to list all the references in it. IMDb mentions some, but they're not all there [It's missing 8 1/2 (Fellini), The Seventh Seal (Bergman) and The Third Man (Welles) for example]. Does anyone know what all of them were?
