called to do a welfare check as they’re both
struggling with the new dynamic. But it is
clear, especially after they adopt the “dog”
Stitch (who turns out to be a mischievous
alien on the run), that Nani will do anything
to protect her little sister and keep their
family together as best she can. Stream it on
Disney+ or rent it on Amazon Prime, Apple
TV, Google Play, Vudu or YouTube.
”The Joy Luck Club” (1993) — This is one
of the typically sappy yet well-made films
that you would typically associate with sto-
ries about mothers and daughters. It is an
emotional film of four Chinese immigrant
women and their relationship with their
American-born daughters. Based on the
book of the same name (and co-written by
the author, Amy Tan, herself), the film is
broken up into four sections with each sec-
tion focusing on a different mother-daugh-
ter group. All of them have their own issues
and stresses but above all, each mother sim-
ply wants the best for their child. Since May
is the Asian American and Pacific Islander
Heritage Month, it’s a nice addition to watch
this month. Rent it on Amazon Prime, Ap-
ple TV, Google Play, Vudu or YouTube.
”Soul Food” (1997) — The matriarch at
the head of the classic late-’90s family drama
played by Irma P. Hall, may not be around
long, but it’s her influence over the rest of
the family is always present. Hall plays Big
Mama Joe, the ever-watchful grandmother
who gathers her family together every Sun-
day without fail for a dinner highlighting
classic soul food staples. Meanwhile, her
three daughters have problems of their own
and eventually strain their relationships to
one another and the rest of the family after
Joe passes. The film was one of the first to
feature an all-Black cast that didn’t revolve
around some kind of generational trauma or
stereotypical storyline. Stream it on Amazon
Prime or rent it on Apple TV, Google Play,
Vudu or YouTube.
”Tarzan” (1999) — While unconventional
(as they’re both different species) and not
the crux of the movie, the relationship be-
tween Tarzan (voiced by Tony Goldwyn)
and Kala (voiced by Glenn Close) is still a

beautiful mother-son story. When Tarzan is
a baby, he and his parents are shipwrecked
and after building a treehouse home, his
parents are killed by a leopard. Orphaned,
a gorilla (Kala) finds him and decides to
raise him after losing her own child. Their
bond is strong as Tarzan grows and she only
wishes the best for him, despite the fact that
that may mean she never sees him again.

”Throw Momma from the Train” (1987)
— Who said attempted matricide couldn’t
be at least a little funny? Honestly, the only
reason it is is because of Anne Ramsey’s
performance as Mrs. Lift, mother of Owen
