Mother's day is celebrated around the world in various ways of showing appreciation to the dedication of mums to their kids.

Organizations in Australia work hand-in-hand with media companies and the communities to hold fund raising activities closely related to the role that mothers play in the general society.

Other events include simple families doing marathons together, treating the matriarchs to lunch or dinner, and the traditional approach of giving flowers and letters.

But to make things simpler this coming Mum's day, why not try putting popcorn in the microwave and bond closer with your mum, watching the best films that pay tribute to them. We feature top movies you can catch with your mom right in the comfort of your own home.
