I haven't really read anything by Freud, but I'm a fan of Nietzsche. I've heard in a few lectures that some of Freud's ideas bear a strong resemblance to those of Nietzsche, but that he denied having read him.
Interestingly, this article seems to corroborate this, and further suggests that he was intentionally lying. Maybe he should share the title a little.

Haha and I studied philosophy but not psychology! (Okay it was just a minor, but I focused on the classics and German existentialism).
Fun crossover episode we just had.
