Mike and I would like to wish a very Happy Mothers Day to our Mum's and thank them for all they have done for us over the years. Thinking about this we thought it would be a great idea to visit some of our favourite movie Mum's that have also helped entertain us over the years, and so please find below our favourite movie Mum's:
1. Mama Fratelli from The Goonies
While Mama Fratelli certainly would't win any Mum of the year competitions, its pretty hard to go past her as one of the best screen Mum's to ever come to life. A perfect balance of cruel, intimidating, clever & funny to be the perfect kids movie villain. Anne Ramsey is a complete knock out in this role and its a real tradgey that only 3 years after filming The Goonies she passed away from throat cancer. Imagine the other roles that could have been brought to life with her talent.
2. Mrs Darko from Donnie Darko
Quite the Mum is Mrs Darko. Talk about a dysfunctional family that she has to help shepherd through a hard time whilst also being the supporter of her son as he disintegrates without alienating her two daughters. It would be a tricky balance for anyone yet Mary McDonnell does a fantastic job acting her part and being the only soul seemingly intact in this movie.
3. Sarah Connor from Terminator 2
Well, so far the movie Mum's have been fairly dark characters so keeping in line with that we move onto the most badass Mum that there has ever been: Sarah Connor from Terminator 2. Chinups in a cell block? Check. Insane knowledge of guns and weapons? Check. Ability to use those guns and weapons? Check. A touch of humanity, love and a solid moral compass? Check. Sarah Connor is really everything you need from a Mum who gives birth to the only human alive who can bring down a fully automated robot army!
4. Mrs Gump from Forrest Gump
The sweetest most loveable Mum you could imagine brought her son up to believe he could do anything and achieve anything. This led to a young man becoming the greatest table tennis player ever, showing Elvis how to dance, tells the president he needs to pee, saves many people's lives in the Vietnam war, the greatest white NFL player to live and fall in love with the polar opposite person to him. Near the end of the movie, Forrest Gump sits under a tree and cries for his Mum and every time this scene comes on it wells me up. Not only because of Tom Hanks's perfect performance but because his Mum truly touches you as a viewer and makes you feel that she is almost as good as your Mum, and Sally Field did a stellar job acting it.
5. Stiflers Mum from American Pie
Because the term MILF was coined for her. Because of Shit Break's obsession over her. Because of how much that pisses off Stifler. Because there had never been a Mum like this on screen before, or since. Because she likes her men like her scotch... aged 18 years.
