What is Intertextuality?
It is the interrelationship between texts, especially works of literature; the way that similar or related texts influence, reflect, or differ from each other.
As the word 'texts' is originally relate to literature, novel, poetry, and etc. But has since developed application to cultural artefacts in general to films, fashion, product design, games and more!
Nothing is original.
While in film studies, the use of intertextuality is to reference allusions and influences, or homage. All texts contain traces of other texts, and often considered and echo of other texts that shape and influence it. People can only understand it through their own knowledge of other texts.

Few types of Intertextuality
Taken from: http://prezi.com/g5bnwa8l9oyl/intertextuality-in-my-video-and-other-media-products/ -First examples of intertextuality (The Scream) 
Original painting, The Scream by Edvard Munch
The Scream vs Movie:
 The Scream vs Character:  The Scream vs Art:  An artwork done by a world-famous artist Sue Coe, named it The Screaming Hen. The distorted/wave-like background, and the chicken figure in the middle has the similar expression to The Scream. Find out more about it: http://www.upc-online.org/pp/spring2012/ The Scream vs animation(homage) Vimeo link: http://vimeo.com/33976373 Find out more about THE SCREAM: http://screamtheshortmovie.com/ In his animation movie descriptions, "I was walking along a path with two friends - the sun was setting - suddenly the sky turned bloody red - I paused, feeling exhausted, and leaned on the fence - there was blood a tongues of fire above the blue-black-fjord and the city - my friends walked on, and I stood there trembling with anxiety - and I sensed an infinite scream passing through nature." Edvard Munch, 1893. The Scream vs animation (parody) Vimeo link: http://vimeo.com/34830801 This is an example of parody done by Sebastian Cosor again. The parody version of it, called The Scream Winter Version. Merely just the scene change to different climate, to winter and the highlight is the figure in the scream has a Christmas hat. -Second example of intertextuality Music vs Movie

The similarities of these two videos
Both of them have their bodies painted in colours, and keep constant for awhile then they started to move their bodies parts.
Love both of them, the music are great and the movie is awesome. Although it is not everyone's favorite, but I personally enjoy while watching it! Worth watching. :) -Third example of intertextuality (Homage) 
Original painting, Starry starry night by Van Gogh
Starry starry night vs Poem
That does not keep me from having a terrible need of -- shall I say the word -- religion. Then
I go out at night to paint the stars.
--Vincent Van Gogh in a letter to his brother
The town does not exist
except where one black-haired tree slips
up like a drowned woman into the hot sky.
The town is silent. The night boils with eleven stars.
Oh starry starry night! This is how
I want to die.
It moves. They are all alive.
Even the moon bulges in its orange irons
to push children, like a god, from its eye.
The old unseen serpent swallows up the stars.
Oh starry starry night! This is how
I want to die:
into that rushing beast of the night,
sucked up by that great dragon, to split
from my life with no flag,
no belly,
no cry.
The Starry Night by Anna Sexton
It is a homage from Anna Sexton, in a form of Poetry. The starry starry night vs Music
