Break out a bottle of wine and your warmest blankets to cozy up with mum and celebrate Mother’s Day this year by watching the best Mother’s Day movies that will make you both laugh and cry. Seriously, a movie marathon with your mum might be the perfect gift for May 8.

We’ve rounded up a bunch of much-loved throwbacks to take you through the entire weekend, so grab the popcorn.
Oh, and Happy Mother’s Day, mum!
