Slaughterhouse-Five (1972)

I preface this with the fact that I have never read the book nor knew much about any of the plot going in. The film is fairly trippy from the start as only films from the late 1960/early 1970s seem capable of. Once I got a feel for the time jumps, it made for an enjoyable and captivating ride watching our hero Billy Pilgrim, played by Michael Stacks, as a POW during World War II, as a family man in the modern day, and on Tralfamadore. I delight in stories that reject a linear timeline worldview and this one is a great edition in that category.
