[[Stanley Kubrick]] admired the work of Bergman and expressed it in personal letter: "Your vision of life has moved me deeply, much more deeply than I have ever been moved by any films. I believe you are the greatest film-maker at work today [...], unsurpassed by anyone in the creation of mood and atmosphere, the subtlety of performance, the avoidance of the obvious, the truthfulness and completeness of characterization. To this one must also add everything else that goes into the making of a film; [...] and I shall look forward with eagerness to each of your films."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kubrick letter |url=http://www.ingmarbergman.se/verk/kubrick-letter/media/22041 |url-status=live |website=www.ingmarbergman.se |language=sv |accessdate=August 20, 2018 |archivedate=December 27, 2020 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20201227043144/https://www.ingmarbergman.se/verk/kubrick-letter/media/22041}}</ref> Film critic [[Philip French]] referred to Bergman as "one of the greatest artists of the 20th century ... he found in literature and the performing arts a way of both recreating and questioning the [[human condition]]."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/film/2007/aug/05/ingmarbergman.worldcinema|title=Twin visionaries of a darker art|author=French, Philip|newspaper=The Observer|date=5 August 2007|access-date=15 May 2017}}</ref> Director [[Martin Scorsese]] commented that "it's impossible to overestimate the effect that [his] films had on people."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://philosophyofscienceportal.blogspot.com/2010/05/film-maker-on-film-makermartin-scorsese.html|title=Philosophy of Science Portal: Film maker on film maker...Martin Scorsese on Ingmar Bergman|author=Mercury|date=9 May 2010|website=Philosophy of Science Portal|access-date=16 March 2019}}</ref> [[Terrence Rafferty]] of ''[[The New York Times]]'' wrote that throughout the 1960s, when Bergman "was considered pretty much the last word in cinematic profundity, his every tic was scrupulously pored over, analyzed, elaborated in ingenious arguments about identity, the nature of film, the fate of the artist in the modern world and so on."<ref>{{cite news|author=Rafferty, Terrence|title=FILM; On the Essential Strangeness of Bergman|newspaper=The New York Times|date=8 February 2004|page=13}}</ref>

Bergman's work was a point of reference and inspiration for director [[Woody Allen]]. He described Bergman as "probably the greatest film artist, all things considered, since the invention of the motion picture camera".<ref>{{cite web|title=The "greatest film-maker who ever lived"|url=https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170728-the-greatest-film-maker-who-ever-lived|website=BBC|date=31 July 2017}}</ref> Bergman's films are mentioned and praised in ''[[Annie Hall]]'' and other Allen films. Allen also admired Bergman's longtime director of photography [[Sven Nykvist]] and invited him to return as his DP on ''[[Crimes and Misdemeanors]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cinemascandinavia.wordpress.com/articles/issue-3-ingmar-bergman/bergmans-influence-on-woody-allen/|title=Bergman's Influence on Woody Allen|date=5 June 2014}}</ref> Danish Director [[Thomas Vinterberg]] has cited Bergman as one of his major influences, "Bergman is always in my head.

[[Bertrand Tavernier]] said: "Bergman was the first to bring metaphysics{{snd}}religion, death, existentialism{{snd}}to the screen. But the best of Bergman is the way he speaks of women, of the relationship between men and women. He's like a miner digging in search of purity."<ref name=NYTObit>{{cite news| title=Ingmar Bergman, Master Filmmaker, Dies at 89| last=Rothstein| first=Mervyn| date=July 30, 2007| work=[[The New York Times]]| url= https://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/30/movies/30cnd-bergman.html}}</ref>

After Bergman died, a large archive of notes was donated to the [[Swedish Film Institute]]. Among the notes are several unpublished and unfinished scripts both for stage and films, and many more ideas for works in different stages of development. A never-performed play has the title ''Kärlek utan älskare'' ("Love without lovers"), and has the note "Complete disaster!" written on the envelope; the play is about a director who disappears and an editor who tries to complete a work he has left unfinished. Other canceled projects include the script for a pornographic film which Bergman abandoned since he did not think it was alive enough, a play about a cannibal, some loose scenes set inside a womb, a film about the life of Jesus, a film about ''[[The Merry Widow]]'', and a play with the title ''Från sperm till spöke'' ("From sperm to spook").<ref name=ratadetexter>{{cite news|author=Jacobsson, Cecilia|date=28 May 2012|url=https://www.dn.se/kultur-noje/scen/ingmar-bergmans-ratade-texter-blev-ny-pjas/|title=Ingmar Bergmans ratade texter blev ny pjäs|trans-title=Ingmar Bergman's rejected texts became new play|language=sv|work=[[Dagens Nyheter]]|access-date=2 October 2019}}</ref> The Swedish director Marcus Lindeen went through the material, and inspired by ''Kärlek utan älskare'' he took samples from many of the works and turned them into a play, titled ''Arkivet för orealiserbara drömmar och visioner'' ("The archive for unrealisable dreams and visions"). Lindeen's play premiered on 28 May 2012 at the [[Stockholm City Theatre]].<ref name=ratadetexter/>

In 2018, in honor of Bergman's 100th birthday, [[The Criterion Collection]] compiled and released a [[Blu-ray]] disc [[boxed set|box set]] comprising 39 of Bergman's features. The set spans Bergman's early career, beginning in the 1940s, up to his final film in 2003. The films are organized non-chronologically, and are instead presented in four groupings that mimic the procession of a [[film festival]]. Accompanying the discs is a book featuring critical essays on each of the films, intended to guide the viewer through the experience. Upon its release, ''[[The New York Times]]'' critic Glenn Kenny assessed the set as "impressive and almost exhaustive", and interpreted it as "a fresh case for [Bergman's] continuing importance", in response to criticisms such as [[Jonathan Rosenbaum]]'s 2007 opinion piece "Scenes From an Overrated Career".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/20/movies/ingmar-bergman-criterion-box-set.html |title=Viewing Ingmar Bergman Through a Glass Less Darkly |last=Kenny |first=Glenn |date=  November 20, 2018 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/04/opinion/04jrosenbaum.html?module=inline |title=Scenes From an Overrated Career |last=Rosenbaum |first=Jonathan |date=August 2007 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>
