Some nice mother's and sons. Gee you guys always head right to the dark side!
Mrs Miniver - GREER GARSON and Richard Ney have a pleasant relationship. Of course they were...ah...dating off screen, married and had a particularly unpleasant divorce...maybe not a great example

Nobody can top Shelly Winters as Ma Barker, being totally inappropriate with her sons in all kinds of ways, in the dreadful Bloody Mama (1970). That's a very young Bobby De Niro getting a scrub down in the bath from his Mama.  |

Strangers on a Train -- horribly dated Freudian psychosexual stuff, but certainly a very memorable mother-son relationship. Mama played by Marion Lorne, who is probably better remembered by my generation as Aunt Clara on Bewitched.
not a classic-era films, but very memorable:
Jessica Lange as Tamora, whose sons meet a grisly fate in Julie Taymor's Titus
Judi Dench as J. Edgar Hoover's overbearing mama in J. Edgar
Annette Crosby as the overbearing Queen Victoria in tv miniseries Edward The King (aka Edward the Seventh)
Miranda Richardson as the ice-cold Queen Mary, who leaves her kids to the nanny, and who seems to despise the youngest one for his epilepsy and feeble-mindedness in The Lost Prince

Two sons Gordon & Sidney (George Segal Ron Liebman) both swore on their father's deathbed that they would never put their senile mother Mrs Hocheiser (Ruth Gordon) into an old peoples home... An outrageous dark black comedy Where's Poppa ? (1970) is all about mother son relationship Gordon lives with his mother, he fails to bring on a morning heart attack after trashing her room with ferocious intensity dressed in a borrowed gorilla suit...  |
