Classic Mother's Day Movies to Watch With Your Mom

One of our favorite ways to celebrate Mom as a family on Mother's Day also happens to be a budget-friendly way to stay in, avoid crowds, and let Mom cuddle up on the couch in her pajamas (sound nice?). Yes, we're talking about streaming a movie! Or better yet, make it a marathon! Even if you can't get together in person, streaming services make watching a movie together for a virtual Mother's Day with your mom easier than ever. So we've rounded up 45 films, from the family-friendly to 18-and-up audiences, that have motherhood, family, and the adversities that we sometimes face together at their hearts.

We all know that the best Mother's Day gift every year is quality time, and a day spent relaxing with a meaningful movie sounds like the perfect activity. Whether you're in the mood for a hilarious comedy about a mother-daughter pair or a tear-jerker drama about families, this list has something for any taste. If you're looking to keep things light, Mamma Mia! is a great option that might also get you and your mom dancing and singing.
