Cross Pollination

World Cinema is to be thanked by Hollywood for many styles of film such as neo-realism, german expressionalism, and countless others with many techniques which were utilized for necessity rather than show (such as jump cuts in Battleship Potempkin)

That's not to say that Hollywood hasn't contributed anything. They are responsable for the majority of shots used in films today. One example is the superimposition used in Modern Times
