    Oh my goodness, I have to get you on board!

    (Just joking!  If you don't like them, you don't like them.)

    I like movies......long movies where characters are really developed and plots can flourish and change and surprise.  Anyone can write, direct, and act a short story. That's high school.    No thanks.

    Oh no; I was too harsh.  I'm glad you enjoy them.  Please don't tell me you are working on a three-short-stories-equal-a-movie project!!   I'm quirky so never mind me.  :)

  • There's a lot of good anthology movies..   Four Rooms comes to mind. Cat's Eye. Coffee and Cigarettes.  Tales of Manhattan.
    Lot of good hyperlink movies too. Pulp Fiction being prime example.

    ("Creepshow" is a favorite one of this type for me.)

  • Yes. They're often very interesting.
    The style of story telling changes when it has to be squeezed into a very short time or space.

    In addition to that, I like it when there are subtle or not-so-subtle ways that either the plots, characters, settings or backstories meld.

    Reading the answers you've received thus far and your feedback to them, I misinterpreted your question, I believe.
    At first, I thought you meant a movie with a lot of characters who have different stories going in within the same movie, like the excellent (to me)

    "A Wedding"
    "Fragments"
    "Magnolia"  

    But now I see I simply read your question carelessly.

    Yes, I am open to such movies and I have enjoyed. I have a couple of favorite, superior-to-me movies based upon vignettes and short stories:

    "Creepshow"   - - five separate stories written by Stephen King and all five directed by George Romero. So fun and scary!

    "Short Cuts" - - a movie based upon the short stories of author Raymond Carver

    I'm pretty sure your first example above describes what I mean, and I don't see how the second example differs from it.

    Thanks, Randy D. I'm not sure of anything that comes from my brain lately. Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.

  • "Sure" ... first one that came to mind was "The Sacketts"
