Crash

Syriana was a good one.
It's a Halloween anthology film. There are a few different plots, but they intertwine here and there. They're all set on Halloween night around the same neighbourhood.
Actually, that reminds me of Love Actually. I've not seen it in a while but I'm sure that's about different sub-plots that cross over now and again.

Parenthood

Multi-thread, multi-strand, multi-narrative will all suffice.
btw - in the past, films that moved from one complete narrative to the next (usually within a wraparound narrative) were called 'portmanteau' films.
Horror did well out of this - Tales From the Crypt, Asylum, Creepshow etc, and there's still afew being knocked out these days.
I agree. Right, off my head:
Tokyo.Sora (Tokyo.Sky)
Three Times
Infernal Affairs
Mystery Train (U.S.)
Survive Style 5+ (I can't even describe this)
Chungking Express
House of Quilt
Tampopo (Dandelion)
Trivial Matters
Kurosawa's Dreams
R246 Story
Liberate Me (follows the lives of fire fighters) [Correct title: Libera Me, and I've confused the plots of Libera Me and Lifeline. Lifeline is the one that revolve around fire fighters..:o]
Rampo Noir (a.k.a. Black Lizard and More Tales)
Jigoku (Hell) (a.k.a. The Sinners of Hell)
The Joy Luck Club (U.S.)
Winged Kings (a.k.a. Kings of the Skies) (follows the lives of airline pilots through their jobs and their messy personal lives)
Sunny
Kuroi Ame (Black Rain)
I'd better stop here.
I certainly agree with that. Particularly popular in Thailand, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japan. My god, Japan is certainly addicted to watching horror anthologies during summers.
