What can I say about moms and movies? Mothers have been portrayed in so many different ways over the years in film and not all of them have been flattering. I’m sure everyone remembers the film Mommie Dearest starring Faye Dunnaway as Joan Crawford. Movies have the power to make us laugh or move us to tears. When you watch a really good movie it can be comparable to reading a great novel, because it’s over before you know it and you’re often left wanting more … there’s always hope for a sequel.

Growing up, my mom and I spent many Sunday afternoons watching movies together. As time went on, I started to look forward to that precious time and as an adult I now realize those are the memories I cherish the most. Let’s face it, many of us don’t appreciate our moms when we should and often pass up opportunities to spend more time with our moms, because we always think we will have more time later. This Mother’s Day … take the time to appreciate your mom or any mom for that matter. Everyone knows someone that is a mom or mother figure and those special moms should be honored. So, why not celebrate those special women in your life by enjoying a good film together?
