Or any improbable story where a child comes under the guardianship of an unlikely disenchanted parental figure. The plot summary always ends with "...and the relationship they have."

she liked baraka too. though my dad says it looked like she fell asleep at one point.

My mum's always doing this, she'll start watching CSI then fall alseep, wake up and not know what the fuck is going on. Frequently it's when there are two episodes back to back so she'll start watching one and wake up to catch the end of the other !?!?

Running through a list of DVDs I've gotten / lent my mum over the past few years, your mum might dig these

The Mission
Of Gods and Men
Funny Girl / Funny Lady
The Snapper
Brokeback Mountain
Sling Blade
American Beauty
Wilde

[Cormcolash]

That band is pretty damn offensive, let me tell ya

I have a penchant myself for period drama, its the future mother of a thumped user coming out in me, she might like some of the merchant ivory stuff, like:
Howards End & The Remains of the Day?

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Anything from David Lynch's oeuvre should suffice

Right, that's for the Daddies

 

[David Kronenbourg]

For the daddies I would recommend something starring Ludivine Sagnier, Beatrice Dalle or any number of French actresses.
