Films with a number of interweaving stories?

[Andybtsn]

Hey,

I'm looking for films like Crash that concentrate on a number of stories and how they come together at the end.

Can anyone recommend some?

Cheers

Cloud Atlas?

Not seen Crash but The Fountain and Cloud Atlas have interweaving storylines, but might not be anything like Crash...

Requiem For A Dream?

Pulp Fiction.

 

[xBLiNG]

Not quite multiple stories, but, Memento?

Big Fish (2003) directed by Tim Burton.

Its a lot less dark than the average burton movie, its actually not that dark really just a bit weird.

I haven't seen it but I think The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is like this, thats the movie with Heath Ledgers last performance.

Also one I have seen is Sucker Punch which is the definition of marmite.

An old one but '2 days in the valley' or alternatively any episode of Touch.

Short Cuts. (Worth it to find out that Julianne Moore is a genuine red-head).
Magnolia. (Ignore what you may have heard out it.)

[Ephemera]

Go (1999)
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind - Doesn't quite fit your description
The Boondock Saints?

 

[Freakbro]

Run Lola Run
Mr Nobody
21 Grams

If you can find the series of Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels it has that sort of theme as well.

Memento, you need to see this if you haven't. Absolute king of a film

Babel, haven't seen this, but there are 4 stories that tie into one.

Prestige, kind of on the verge of your description, well worth a watch. I put this in my top 5 films.



Personally, I wasn't too keen on The Fountain. For me, it was a load of well directed and beautiful scenes all pasted together. Felt like watching an art project, not a film.


edit, final suggestion, if you like stories that all tie in together, check out the tv show Lost.
