Actually, Empire of the Sun was based on the novel by JG Ballard and the screenplay was written by Tom Stoppard.
Vonnegut's novel Slaughterhouse Five was made into a movie back in the golden years, directed by George Roy Hill (Butch Cassidy, The Sting). You should certainly see it if you can find it.
