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.

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.]”

1. MOEBIUS (2013)
