Top 10 Films to watch on #MothersDay [Linwood’s Picks]

It’s that time of the year again where we show our appreciation to our mothers! Whether they birthed us or stepped in to fulfill the role of a caretaker in their place. Today, GameCargo has asked its founder to select ten of his utmost favorite films to recommend watching, with your family and/or friends, that center around the maternal instincts of a female protagonist, and the offspring affected by circumstances or decisions that stem from their lives together.

10. FURIE (2019)

“Veronica Ngo stars as an ex-gangster who is lying low in the countryside after becoming a mother, but she can’t escape her violent past when her daughter is kidnapped.”

9. THE LONG KISS GOODNIGHT

“A woman suffering from amnesia begins to recover her memories after trouble from her past finds her again.”

8. KILL BILL: VOL. 1

“After awakening from a four-year coma, a former assassin wreaks vengeance on the team of assassins who betrayed her.” [This choice includes Vol. 2, as both of them are considered two parts of one movie, according to Quentin Tarantino.]”

7. HEREDITARY

“A grieving family is haunted by tragic and disturbing occurrences.”

6. FREAKY FRIDAY

“An overworked mother and her daughter do not get along. When they switch bodies, each is forced to adapt to the other’s life for one freaky Friday.”

5. TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY

“A cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her teenage son, John Connor, from a more advanced and powerful cyborg.”

4. BRAVE

“Determined to make her own path in life, Princess Merida (Kelly Macdonald) defies a custom that brings chaos to her kingdom. Granted one wish, Merida must rely on her bravery and her archery skills to undo a beastly curse.”

3. FOUR BROTHERS

“When their adoptive mother is gunned down in a store robbery the ‘four brothers’ investigate the murder for themselves & look for the killers, but not all is what it seems.”

2. SOUL FOOD (1997)

“One person can keep a family together and, when that one person is gone, a family can be torn apart.”

1. MOEBIUS (2013)

“A father driven into desire, a son coveting that of his father’s, and the sorrowful maternity that hovers them into tragedy.”
