Structure of Slumdog Millionaire Script

When I think of the structure of Slumdog Millionaire, it has some resemblance to films I've seen before, in which a present day character narrates past events and the film is presented in a series of flashbacks frequently returning to the present day narrator recalling it (whether forced or of their own volition). One movie that comes to mind is Amadeus, though a less than accurate comparison. Now, I am trying to come up with a list of titles with a similar structure, but titles aren't coming to me right away.

It's a pretty standard framing device, innit?
"The Usual Suspects"
"Little Big Man"
"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (done as a deathbed confession)
