Who are some of the best movie mothers? I thought a long time about this and kind of came up blank. Donna Reed in It's a Wonderful Life and Greer Garson in Mrs. Miniver were the first ones I could come up with. Sally Field in Forrest Gump is an okay choice, I guess. Maybe women really are only portrayed as love interests or bitches.

I can actually think of a ton of bad or crazy mothers. Good ones are harder to come by.

TV choices are much more plentiful, but I'm looking for movies (I assume you are referring to TV's June Cleaver, not the movie adaptation).

The mother from A Christmas Story was pretty top notch. Aside from mistakenly ratting out Ralphie's friend for cursing, she was alright.

Is portrayed as the ideal.

She never complains.

But best movie character as a Mother good or bad?

Where does Sarah Conner fit into this discussion? Nobody can deny that she went to extreme measures to protect her child.

Sissy Spacek in Blast From the Past cracked me up. She was pretty good.

You might as well go ahead and say Mrs. Bates.

She was pretty sweet, if I remember. Not memorable enough to recall her name.

Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side, yea or nay?
