I'm sure there are tons more, I just can't think. Oh yeah, Crash, maybe Magnolia. What I'm looking for are kinda day in the life movies of a multiple protagonists. I've got an idea I'm working on, but the structure is proven no difficult. Was hoping to get ideas.

Any crappy movie with too many big-name "leads"

There's a movie about a assasination/bombing I watched recently but I can't recall the name with Dennis Quaid and Forest Whitaker

That's close, but it's more out of order than I'm thinking. My idea would be chronological.

Linklater? I haven't seen that in 20+ years. Know of any place that streams it?

Didn't Reservoir Dogs kinda do this? Been a while since I've seen it.

Not exactly POV, but the telling of the same story/event by different characters: Rashomon

Not exactly.

I'm thinking something like showing a day in the life of 4 or 5 characters, no one more important than the other, connected by 1 event. I'm sure there are some 9/11 movies like this.

Rashomon has been mentioned in a few articles I've read. Haven't seen it, but thanks for that rec.

Rules of Attraction

Hero

(I saw this movie in Austin at a theater that plays foreign and indi movies. I'm not much of a samurai fan, but this movie on a big screen was spectacular. The colors, the fighting, everything...it was like porn for my eyes. Kinda reminded me of The Fall like that. )
