With Mother’s Day fast approaching, we’ve chosen to celebrate by honoring 12 of the most badass moms in movie history.
Maybe you can treat your own badass mom to a mini-marathon featuring some of our picks this weekend.
Sure, there are plenty of nice movie moms, and several that are complex and real, but we wanted to honor those cinematic mothers who are badass mothers, if you know what I mean.
In the spirit of the holiday, we decided to not rank the moms we picked for this list — they’re all awesome, ferocious and tough-as-hell in their own ways.
