Another Mother’s Day, another screening of “Terms of Endearment,” right? Wrong. Nothing against that movie — or “Mrs. Miniver,” or any of the other holiday perennials — but there’s more to movie motherhood than the usual four-hanky specials.
Our short list includes an action film, a horror movie, an environmentally conscious historical epic, a murder mystery, a free-form memory piece, and several films worth watching, on Mother’s Day or any other day. Add your own wild card Mother’s Day movie selections in the Letters section.
