Sin City, Traffic, and Crash are three that come to mind.

I'm sure there's a number of them I've seen, but the one that comes to my mind at the moment is American Graffiti.

Welcome to HTF, Meg! Interesting topic, although I'm sure there are a gazillion of these movies out there. Pulp Fiction would qualify, wouldn't it? Certainly Robert Altman's Nashville would, maybe some of his other movies as well.
A current non-US director who's used this kind of structure several times is Wong Kar-Wai. Three of his movies are of that style, to varying degrees: Days of Being Wild, Chungking Express, and Fallen Angels. His most recent film, 2046, is sort of in that category as well, although there's one main character pretty much throughout the whole thing.

Almost every Robert Altman film, like Nashville, The Player and M*A*S*H.
As would Pulp Fiction, wouldn't everyone agree?
EDIT: Way to go, Haggai...thunder-stealer.

Hey, great minds think alike. 
I don't think The Player is quite in this category, from what I remember of it. The main character does interact with a bunch of different people, but the story mostly follows him. MASH is an ensemble piece, but again you're pretty much with the main guys all the way through. Nashville is a clear-cut case of completely different story-lines, developed independently of each other, and then intersecting later on.

Yep yep yep -- all good suggestions. You guys have the hang of it!
Keep the ideas flowing, especially lesser-known films. Brook, Wonderland is a great suggestion. A terrific picture that I had forgotten about.
