Wow! I didn't realize I've seen so many movies about single moms. And they are all great ones! (At least those that I have seen) I especially love Terms of Endearment, Mermaids, and Parenthood. Fantastic list! Happy 13.
"Parenthood" and "Chocolat" are the only movies on this list that I have seen in their entirety. Since I do like Johnny Depp's work, I'll probably eventually get around to seeing "Finding Neverland" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape".
I never really thought of them like that. I mean... as "single moms" versus ... I don't know. Guess I took the character for who she was and didn't think about marriage or what-have-you.
You'll note that single moms fare a LOT better in books and movies than stepmoms do!
What a great list of movies!
Very good list. White Oleander was so sad!!
Great list! I've seen most of them. I'll have to check out the others.
Happy TT!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I haven't seen any of the movies you've mentioned but I've heard of several of them. I've always wanted to read or watch "Little Woman"
Oh man, Terms of Endearment, I think i cry more each time I watch it.
Have you read White oleander? Great book.
Good list, there are a few that I need to see!
I love Hope Floats! That is an awesome movie. :)
Great List...thanks for dropping by.
I've seen many of those movies and enjoyed them -- particularly Terms of Endearment, Little women, White Oleander, and Gilbert Grape.
Happy T13, and thanks for visiting mine!
Quite good movies. Can only relate to some.
Thanks for the visit.
Wow.. I didn't know there were so many movies about single parents... I love Chocolat... Did you realize you listed Little Women twice? :) I guess it's just that good! :)
Great list!! So many that I enjoy -- I also liked "The Good Mother" -- I don't know if you saw that one or not with Diane Keaton and Liam Neeson. I actually blogged about that movie several months ago. I don't think I could pick a favorite from your list tho -- I enjoyed them all!
great list!
You probably won't like my opinion so I'll just say Happy TT13 :-)
Those are some great movies....I will have to add some of those to my movies to see list.
great list!!!! Happy TT!!
thanks for stopping by!
Great list - Finding Neverland, Chocolat,Mermaids and all about my mother are favourites. Thanks for stopping by!
Oooo...White Oleander, definitely not the kind of mother to model yourself after. :) Great choices!
I haven't seen any of the films you've listed. Thanks for stopping by my TT.
Two out of thirteen isn't bad!
Hey Lori,
I haven't seen 5, 9., 11 or 13, but I like the rest of them.
I haven't seen all of these... but I love, love, LOVE Hope Floats!! =)
I love Finding Neverland. Happy TT!
I loved What's Eating Gilbert Grape!
Great list Lori :).
White Oleander is bad!! I do no tknow too many Mom's like that luckily! My mom was a SM most of my life-- struggled a lot but we usually didn't notice
My mom is a single parent too and we both loved Hope Floats :)
Happy TT!
Love Little Women, Chocolat and Finding Neverland.
Chocolat and Finding Neverland are my favorites.
I'll have to watch them again soon.
Great list.:)

5, 6 and 9 are my favourites!
hanks for visiting my TT.
thanks for giving up the list.

Why have I never thought of Little Women in these terms? Terms of Endearment is a good example of a single parent - ! What a fabulous list of movies.
I loved Finding Neverland. I balled so hard in that one. And Mermaids was a lot of fun too. Great list.
Interesting--I haven't seen very many of these. Happy TT and thanks for visiting mine!
Great idea for a list. There are quite a few, really. If you include single fathers, you could add the entire Disney pantheon.
I love all these moves, though I haven't seen Chocolat. =)
Finding Neverland is one of my favorite movies of all time!
I only have not seen Tumbleweeds and Chocolat, but the rest I have.
I've seen a few of these, but my definite favorite was "Finding Neverland." (It probably helped that it was released not long after we staged a production of "Peter Pan"...)
Happy TT!
Who was a single mom in Little Women?
I was just commenting to another TT'er that I've never seen Terms of Endearment. I guess I'll have to go rent it now!
Gilbert Grape, Terms of Endearment, and Parenthood are three of my favorite movies! Great list! Parenthood is my favorite movie to watch on a Sunday afternoon.
anywhere but here and where the heart is
i all the movies you listed, although white oleander is a movie about a bad single mom
Well, ok, I can see that. I guess I was thinking about the stereotypic single mom. I wish I could be half the mom as Marmee!
I saw Chocolat once and keep meaning to get the DVD off to add it to my Amazon wish list...
I've seen some of those, but not all. Great list! :)
There really is a #4 and I married him. Have a great TT. :)
Yep...so did I Sandee....TWICE. I guess if you have the only one left, the rest of us single girls are S.O.L...good for you sunshine:)
Great list! I've seen a few of them.
I haven't seen most of these, but I like 1, 3, 7 and 10. :-)
I've only seen # 1, 3, 7 and 8...
happy TT
It's fun reading list like this, because there is actually movies that I didn't watch!!
Thank for visiting!!
