In the spirit and heart of Mothers Day I thought I would highlight those who shouldn’t be receiving any flowers or cards this year! They can’t all be sweet and innocent like Mrs Gump or as protective and destructive as Uma Thurman in Kill Bill; so here is my list of the top five worst mums in films.
Everybody knows Stifler’s mum (Jennifer Coolidge) in the American Pie franchise. She isn’t exactly the best role model, sleeping with one of your son’s best friends on a pool table and adding a whole new category to porn, I think its only fair that she’s on the list!
A real classic Sunday afternoon children’s film, Matilda (1996) . Although she ends up having one of the best foster mums, her real mother Mrs Wormwood (Rhea Perlman) is the polar opposite. Cruel, neglectful and having one of the most annoying voices known to man, she’s definitely not mother of the year.
Hitchcock’s 1960 Psycho and Mrs Bates! Controlling and possessive she spirals her son into complete madness, being a constant nag and manipulative woman she is one of films most iconic horrible mothers!
Anne Ramsey or as she might be better known as, Mama Fratelli in The Goonies. Monstrous, dominating and foul she is responsible for the runaway criminal gang’s actions and the imprisonment of her Sloth like son.
The worst mother of all time however, is the crazy, manipulative and evil Margret White better known as the mother of poor Carrie White. Portrayed on screen by both Piper Laurie and Julianne Moore in Carrie (1967/2013) she is the most horrifying mother created, and its a good job Carrie gets her revenge with some magic knife throwing!
Hope you enjoyed the list and feel free to give your added extras! Enjoy Mother’s Day Mums!
Mama Fratelli LoL… she was scary.
Very cool post mate! Margaret White instantly sprang to mind for me! Mothers are usually pretty positively played in films it seems, it’s normally the dads who come out worst!
Thanks a lot! I have to agree, I was going to do a “best” list but theres so many! Rarely get an evil mother but when you do, they’re great aha!
Each are certainly bad mothers!
Strong list.
Lol – great list. I love Stifler’s mom… : )
Great post, nice choices.
I nominated you for a Liebster Award! YEAAAA – check it out – http://daveexaminesmovies.com/2014/04/10/liebster-award/
Good selections. Margaret White really is terrifying. And awful.
Good list. I would include the mother from Home Alone. She abandons here child. TWICE. Someone should have definitely called social services. Also the mother from The Hand that Rocks the Cradle. She hires a nanny without even looking at a resume or contacting a reference. So irresponsible. She might has well have invited a crack addict into her home.
Aha Home Alone! That should have been on the list if I’m honest, twice is just asking for social services to take the kid away! Poor kevin!
