Have you started thinking about Mother's Day yet? In honor of the special day coming up next month, I was pondering some of my favorite motherly characters from the movies. Here's what I cam up with:

5. (Tie) Susan Sarandon as Jackie and Julia Roberts as Isabel in Stepmom (1998)


4. Melinda Dillon as Mrs. Parker in A Christmas Story (1983)


3. Diane Keaton as J.C in Baby Boom (1987)


2. Sandra Bullock as Leigh Ann in The Blind Side (2009)


1. Sally Field as M'Lynn in Steel Magnolia (1989)
