If you loved New York, New York, try Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Martin Scorsese, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to New York, New York, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is
Scorsese does mainstream. A newly widowed woman and her precocious son leave New Mexico for California, but end up waitressing in Arizona. It's a character study that manages to be fairly watchable, even without the usual wiseguys.
