Moms on Film
May 9th, 2010 by WendyIn honor of Mother’s Day, @atthemoviestv tweeted this question today:
Happy Mother’s Day to ALL the mothers out there!! And, in honor of today, who are some of your favorite on-screen mothers?
That got me thinking. And what I realized is most of the mothers in film I thought of immediately were not exactly role model type mothers.
Of course, there was Mommie Dearest.
Icy freakazoid bitch
Then there was Kramer v. Kramer.
Icy confused bitch.
Or even Ordinary People.
Icy kicked-out-on-her-behind bitch.
So in terms finding a woman who I might want to be even just a
little bit like, that leaves me with her:
Icy hot bitch.
What moms on film do you like?

The ladies from Steel Magnolias. Especially Shirley MacLaine’s character, Weeza. She reminds me of my gramma (God Rest Her Soul). She was crotchety and funny too.
