[MassiveMovieBuff]

Wow, didn't even consider the Sin City films (or Pulp Fiction for that matter)! I was thinking strictly horror.

One that hasn't been mentioned:

Burning Palms (2010)

It's a twisted dark comedy/drama and has a really good cast. You can stream it through Amazon Prime on their IMDb channel with a few commercials. It's also on Tubi TV.

Pulp Fiction isn't an anthology film, nor City of God, and Magnolia.

Why not? They all are about multiple POVs and storylines. The only thing is that they intersect.

Anyway, I perused some online lists (such as this one) and saw PF and CoG as anthology films. I figure if it's on the Internet then it must be true (although I went out on a limb for Magnolia, Babel, and Crash).

[MassiveMovieBuff]

Yeah Pulp Fiction kind of rides that fine line. On one hand the "stories" are just part of one big story just split and mixed up but on the other hand they are different parts of the story split up into separate parts. If that makes sense. Sounded confusing while I was typing it.

City of God and Pulp Fiction are examples of what's being called hyperlink cinema.

The non-linear storylines and different character perspectives doesn't really make it an anthology film by default. Anthology films have historically been a collection of short films, sometimes with a unifying theme, sometimes by different directors. City of God really doesn't fit that at all, nor do many other films that get called anthologies, so I do think hyperlink cinema better describes these kinds of movies.
