If you loved Slaughterhouse-Five, try The World According to Garp

What they share

Both films are directed by George Roy Hill, and they both carry the bittersweet mood tag, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Slaughterhouse-Five, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
