Steel Magnolias would be my first to mention. Amazing ensemble film starring so many amazingly talented women. Laugh, cry, laugh some more ! Another would be MOONSTRUCK with Cher and Olympia Dukakis you sure don't need permission to start your cool threads, mine or anyone elses !  |

Would Jedda (1955) count? White woman has a baby, baby dies. Aborigine woman dies, but her baby lives. White woman adopts aborigine baby. Drama ensues from the resulting cultural conflict. (though this only makes up the first half or so of the film).

Another toxic Mother and Daughter : A Patch of Blue (1965)a User summary from the Olde IMDb Accidentally blinded by her prostitute mother Rose-Ann at the age of five, Selina D'Arcey spends the next 13 years confined in the tiny Los Angeles apartment that they share with "Ole Pa", Selina's grandfather. One afternoon at the local park, Selina meets Gordon Ralfe, a thoughtful young office worker whose kind-hearted treatment of her results in her falling in love with him, unaware that he is black. They continue to meet in the park every afternoon and he teaches her how to get along in the city. But when the cruel, domineering Rose-Ann learns of their relationship, she forbids her to have anything more to do with him because he is black. Selina continues to meet Gordon despite Rose-Ann's fury, who is determined to end the relationship for good. Mom RoseAnn - Shelley Winters Daughter Selina - Elizabeth Hartman Trivia : Shelley Winters hated her role as "Rose-Ann," primarily because, as a supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, she was very uncomfortable playing a racist. Winters was actually overwhelmed and speechless the night she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Elizabeth Hartman wore a pair of opaque contact lenses that not only made her appear blind, but genuinely deprived her of her sight. |

A photo from The Best Years of Our Lives
 and a quote: [after daughter Peggy tells her parents that they never had any trouble in their relationship] Milly Stephenson: "We never had any trouble." How many times have I told you I hated you and believed it in my heart? How many times have you said you were sick and tired of me; that we were all washed up? How many times have we had to fall in love all over again? |

Secrets and Lies (1996) are exposed when this mother and daughter reunite and connect having been separated since birth. An excellent emotionally charged, penetrating human drama from Mike Leigh

I, CLAUDIUS- Antonia and Livilla (Margaret Tyzack and Patricia Quinn)
Antonia's reaction when Livilla mocks a prophecy.
"Go to your room! You shall have nothing to eat for the rest of the day!"
Thirty years later, when Livilla has done MUCH worse, Antonia locks her in her room, sitting at the door until she starves to death.
"That is her punishment!"
How can she bear sitting there, waiting for her daughter's death?
"That shall be mine."

Would Jedda (1955) count? White woman has a baby, baby dies. Aborigine woman dies, but her baby lives. White woman adopts aborigine baby. Drama ensues from the resulting cultural conflict. (though this only makes up the first half or so of the film). Certainly sounds like it would count to me. Also sounds like a fascinating film. Thanks for the suggestion.The film is well-known, at least in Australia. The script is pretty dated in terms of its attitudes on race, but the best part of the film is the beautiful colour photography (it was Australia's first drama feature film in colour). Unfortunately, the talented actor who played the villain in Jedda, Robert Tudawali, died young at 39. Rosalie Kunoth-Monks, who played Jedda, is still alive but this was her only film role. A shame, but I believe she never considered acting to be a serious career for her. Someone could easily start a thread about people who had a major role in a single film but no other film roles (I can't be bothered to post such a thread myself). The director of the film, Charles Chauvel, died in 1959 aged 62. His final work was a well-received (but now very rarely seen) documentary TV series for the BBC called "Australian Walkabout" (1958). |
