Many of us saw our first movies with our mothers. I remember when, throughout my childhood, Disney used to release classic movies<\/a> like Snow White<\/em> and Cinderella<\/em> back into the movie theaters, and my mom would take my sister and me for a special afternoon out. The aroma of popcorn and the creamy bite of Junior Mints reminds me of those times to this day.<\/p>\n

Now that I\u2019m an adult, and a mother myself,<\/a> movies are part of my memory, threads of connection with my relationships, my growth as a person and my place in my family. <\/p>\n

This Mother\u2019s Day,<\/a> if you are looking for a movie to uplift, to make you laugh (and maybe cry just a little), and to reflect on your connection with your mom,<\/a> your kids, or both, start with these eight films (popcorn and Junior Mints optional).<\/p>\n

Brave<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis 2012 Disney Pixar film set in medieval Scotland is the fantastical tale of a princess, Merida, who longs to ride horses and fire a bow and arrow like the men in her clan. Her mother, Queen Elinor, becomes enchanted and turns into a bear, unable to speak and requiring her daughter\u2019s aid to lift her curse. The fierceness of the love between Merida and Elinor\u2014complicated as it often is between mothers and daughters<\/a>\u2014makes this beautiful viewing for mothers or daughters of any age.<\/p>\n

Freaky Friday<\/em><\/strong>
\nBased on the famous young adult novel, this 2003 movie (or the 1976 original adaptation) hilariously explores the question of what would happen if a teenage girl and her harried working mother\u2014who aren\u2019t getting along very well\u2014switch bodies for a day. The experience of spending a day in another\u2019s shoes is not only pure comedy, it reveals a new level of respect and love<\/a> the mother and daughter come to share.<\/p>\n

The Kids Are All Right<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis 2010 comedy features not one but two powerhouse mothers, a married same-sex couple whose 18-year-old daughter researches and locates Paul, the sperm donor who enabled the couple to have their two children. The relationship between the two mothers is complicated by Paul\u2019s presence, and the family goes through a journey back to each other.<\/p>\n

Mamma Mia!<\/em><\/strong>
\nA romantic comedy set to the exuberant music of ABBA, this 2008 film follows Sophie, a young woman who has never known who her father is\u2014and invites three possible candidates to her wedding on the Greek island where her mother owns a hotel-villa. Her mother\u2019s best friends\u2014more mother figures to Sophie\u2014go on the journey of discovery, emotion and celebration in this beautiful, moving story<\/a> that also was a Broadway musical.<\/p>\n

Soul Food<\/em><\/strong>
\nMatriarchy is a theme of this 1997 film about a close-knit African American family that lives in Chicago and is reeling after the death of \u201cBig Mama,\u201d whose Sunday meals kept the family connected and nourished<\/a>\u2014emotionally as well as physically. The experiences of Big Mama\u2019s three grown daughters and their respective families and relationships are woven together and are brought back to the table by 11-year-old Ahmad\u2019s desire to see the family\u2019s traditions survive.<\/p>\n

Forrest Gump<\/em><\/strong>
\nOf all the famously quotable lines from this 1994 Oscar-winning film,<\/a> it\u2019s \u201cWhat\u2019s my destiny, Mama?\u201d that always brings a tear to my eye. The title character\u2019s mother is a fierce protector of her son\u2019s unique strengths and challenges, the moral heart of her son\u2019s life and the kind of mother whose impact is felt well beyond her years on earth. <\/p>\n

The Joy Luck Club<\/em><\/strong>
\nChinese immigrant mothers and their daughters are at the heart of this powerful 1993 film based on the Amy Tan<\/a> novel. The story unfolds as the mothers choose carefully when to share their stories\u2014or not\u2014with their daughters, as we see the beauty and complexity of generational connection and discovery in flashback scenes interspersed with current issues for the main characters.<\/p>\n

Steel Magnolias<\/em><\/strong>
\nThis 1989 classic film about mothers, daughters and lifelong friends is a famous tearjerker, but it is also rich with humor, joy and deep and honest love. Don\u2019t kid yourself\u2014keep the tissues nearby. But if you need to let out some feelings this Mother\u2019s Day, you can consider this movie your first stop. <\/p>\n
