Don’t go head-to-head with this Massachusetts mauler, or you’ll get the taste pounded out of you—and no, we’re not referring to Mark Wahlberg or Christian Bale. Boxing manager Melissa Leo beats up her husband, disciplines frizzy-haired intruders (“What are you doing opening your mouth in my kitchen?”) and fiercely protects her turf.—Joshua Rothkopf

Carrying difficult material on sturdy shoulders, the great Tilda Swinton plays the guilt-ridden mother of a high-school psychopath (Ezra Miller) who destroys a community’s future. The movie plays out in complex chronology, as ominous moments of child rearing alternate with nightmarish scenes from a red-hued aftermath.—Joshua Rothkopf

To the film’s disservice, Sally Field’s Oscar speech (“You like me!”) is what’s remembered most these days. Take some time to set the record straight: Few onscreen widows keep it together as strongly as Field’s Texas matriarch, and the movie vibrates with stirring toughness. Our hunch is that you really will like her by closing credits.—Joshua Rothkopf

The take-no-sh*t mobster’s moll at the center of John Cassavetes’s crime drama isn’t interested in being anyone’s parental figure. Then she meets a six-year-old Puerto Rican boy who some bad guys want out of the way, and courtesy of Gena Rowlands, we see that even the toughest snub-nose-wielding dame has a hidden tender side.—David Fear

“You’ve done some bad things, sweetie,” purrs Jackie Weaver’s queen of the underworld to a potential enemy, and the message is clear: Keep your hands off my criminal brood. Spend a little time with this Australian version of Ma Barker and you understand just how much she loves her bank-robbing boys—maybe a little too much.—David Fear

When her paroled son, Tom, comes home, she’ll be there. When her family needs a backbone, she’ll be there. And when the time comes to haul everybody out West, why, she’ll be there too. Jane Darwell turns John Steinbeck’s Ma Joad into the definitive Dust Bowl matriarch: steadfast, optimistic and determined to make a better life for her kin.—David Fear

Yes, Farrow spends most of Roman Polanski’s urban nightmare as an expectant mother-to-be. But once she gets over her initial shock—her newborn has “his father’s eyes,” after all—watch how the ultimate baby-bump horror film becomes, oddly, a tribute to maternal instinct triumphing over all. Even if your kid is a real devil.—David Fear

This seminal franchise is chock-full of maternal figures, from Sigourney Weaver’s badass nurturer Ripley to the USCSS Nostromo’s computer (named, aptly, Mother). But for our money, nobody beats this film’s Xenomorph queen—a fearsome, egg-spouting creature that set the standard for modern sci-fi mom-strosities.—David Fear

A p**n star’s rise and fall hits an early peak of devastation in a suburban California bedroom, as Joanna Gleason tears apart her son’s lifestyle, ripping down his posters and calling him a loser. “Please don’t be mean to me,” Mark Wahlberg cries (still his finest moment). Soon, he’ll bolt from the house and never come back.—Joshua Rothkopf

Hearing a hunter approach, the mother of Disney’s titular fawn urges him to flee, running beside the scared white-tailed deer. “We made it!” Bambi cries upon reaching the woods, until the youngster realizes he’s alone—a traumatic moment that’s taught generations of underage viewers about parental sacrifice.—David Fear
