Why
Best Movies by Farr?
Independent film advocate and movie curator for discerning viewers, John Farr is your guide to the best movies to stream, rent or buy. John is concerned solely with what’s great – timeless classics, old and new, domestic and foreign, narrative and documentary.
Our goal is to make it fun, fast and easy to find the next film you’ll love. We’re here to help you cut through the clutter, and put outstanding titles right at your fingertips.
Using smiles, warm hugs, fresh-baked goods, outright manipulation, and, occasionally, a baseball bat, Hollywood mothers shaped our favorite characters to be the men and women they are today. We all have mothers, after all – or did. Even the most evil entities the world has ever seen – Hitler, Godzilla, Michael Bay – have or had mothers who loved them.
The characters in our favorite films are no different, and would probably be sending their mothers some cinematic roses if they could. So, just in time for Mother’s Day, we bring you the most memorable movie moms from the best films ever made.
