Mommie Dearest?

… no seriously, I really like “Chocolat”. Because, Johnny Depp. Also, the main character is an awesome, free spirited mom.

Hmm…most touching in a saccharin sweet way? Steel Magnolias comes to mind. Terms of Endearment and Stepmom are two others. Personally, I liked Delores Claiborne. It’s a mystery that slowly unravels the truth about a mother’s love for her daughter.

Stop or my mom will shoot/Throw momma from the train…No?
Kramer vs Kramer, although it focuses on divorce & custody battles, I think in the end it shows the true courage of a mother.

I second @Pachyderm_In_The_Room‘s I Remember Mama It’s one of the greatest. Ever.

All of @gailcalled‘s are fantastic, too.
