Question: Amores Perros. It's in Spanish, but with subtitles. Good movie!
And I found a list that has all the movies that have plots like that. I guess it's called Anthology plots or something, but here's the link:

Yea, an anthology is a collection of stories that all have a common theme, or something that interconnects them all. In film, it is called a portmanteau film. A portmanteau film brings together several separate short stories through often subtle connections.

I have a movie at home with Matt Dillon in it as a cop & it's called Crash with people's lives intersecting & was nominated for Oscars last year or the year before. I assume that's the one you mean. Just google it.
"Identity" with John Cusack, which was horrible.
usually the scenes are called vignettes. not too sure if there is a specific classification for films such as this. a parallel in literature would be the anthology. i don't believe films are referred to as anthologies...
it doesn't appear that people are understanding your question. unless i'm the one who misinterpreted what you asked.
by the way, Crash is a terrible movie...too many stereotypical characters...
A film made up of segments is not called an anthology; it is a portmanteau film or movie.
The story "patches" in the films you are asking about are called vignettes, but I have yet to find out if there is an encompassing term for them. I haven't read a film review yet that uses a term, only the words "intersecting" and "interweaving". I tried to sort out some films that have lives crisscrossing or converging.
Other films that are somewhat similar (intersecting lives) are:
Ragtime
Grand Canyon
Sin City
American Graffiti
Pulp Fiction
Magnolia
Where the Heart Is
The Life Before This
Holes
Grand Hotel (1932)
City of Hope
Mind the Gap
