Mom's Favorite Movies Poll in honor of Mother's Day
Added 2022-04-25 16:05:04 +0000 UTCUPDATE: POLL CLOSED! I will be watching October Sky, been wanting to watch this for a long time, special nod to lightscameraJake for pushing this one too! Can't wait!
k this is special because my mom is actually here visiting! These are some of her favorite movies that I haven't seen in honor's of Mother's Day.
My mom is kind of like me and not a movie buff by any means, she loves love stories, but also suspense and has a hard time with sadness.
My mom is the most adventurous, which did not rub off on me who is scared of everything. She spent years travelling, backpacking all over Southeast Asia for years, Australia, New Zealand, Israel etc. She has been a neonatal intensive care nurse for over 30 years taking care of the sweet tiny babies and even though she is barely 5 feet tall, she has SO much love to give, always serving her family and community.
Some movies she also loves but I have already seen are You've Got Mail, The Sound of Music, The Fugitive, The Terminal, August Rush, Les Mis. Spotlight, The Post, A Few Good Men.
Some honorable mentions that didn't make the poll-Simon Birch, Kramer vs. Kramer, The Firm, Bridges of Madison County, Ghost and Double Jeopardy!
Usually in a poll I have one or two I think I know is going to win, but this poll I have no idea!

2022-05-01 01:04:37 +0000 UTCLike the post says the movies on the poll are some of Cassie's mom's favorites.

2022-04-30 02:30:39 +0000 UTCSomething just occurred to me. Does anyone else find an irony in the fact that among Cassie's mom's favorite movies are one that condemns extramarital affairs (FATAL ATTRACTION) and one that celebrates an extramarital affair (DR ZHIVAGO)?

2022-04-29 22:27:53 +0000 UTCMaverick should have been included in the "Based on 60's TV westerns" poll...Maverick is done let's see another western poll..

2022-04-29 21:22:23 +0000 UTCHow did Fatal Attraction become a mother's day movie?..Why wasn't Out of Africa included on this poll?

2022-04-29 21:16:46 +0000 UTCSomething your mother might like and I think is right up your alley is Somewhere in Time. Very romantic with interesting twists but some tragedy if you can handle it.

2022-04-29 07:15:29 +0000 UTCvery few things in life are absolute... but Cassie loving the movie- 'return to me'? ya, that's a 100!

2022-04-28 17:00:51 +0000 UTCI feel like every poll is controversial.

2022-04-28 05:59:03 +0000 UTCMy vote was for Return to Me...so underrated and the cast is absolutely perfect. I knew it wasn't going to win but I am glad it's on there and I do hope you will react to it in the future. I guarantee you will absolutely love it.

2022-04-27 18:44:01 +0000 UTC@Happy Hanukah - Yeah, that Western poll was pretty epic and probably the most contentious, but the Detective Investigative poll was also very heated given the choices as well. btw - Loved your "Yes Minister" reference in an earlier comment. Loved that show.

2022-04-27 17:57:49 +0000 UTCWhat really gets my dander up is that this poll did not include the quintessential Mother's Day movie: Maverick!

2022-04-27 17:24:14 +0000 UTC...at this point, it begs the question... Cassie... has PiB ever had a more controversial poll?

2022-04-27 15:39:22 +0000 UTCYou should check out a great film called Children of Men. It's a great film. One of my favorite movies.
2022-04-27 13:23:17 +0000 UTCI’ll give a nod to “Return to Me”. A very highly underrated romantic comedy directed by the great Bonnie Hunt (who also plays a supporting role).
Mr Trick
2022-04-27 13:14:00 +0000 UTCThinking about it... the great thing about October Sky winning this poll, is that the outcome of the story all came down to the Mother (and the teacher).
